Base API Dependency ~ govmomi

This provider utilizes govmomi Go Library for communicating to VMware vSphere APIs (ESXi and/or vCenter). Because of the dependency this provider is compatible with VMware systems that are supported by govmomi. Much thanks to the dev team that maintains govmomi, and even more thanks to there guidance with the development of this provider. We have had many issues answered by the govomi team!

vSphere CLI ~ govc

One of the great tools that govmomi contains is govc. It is a command line tool for using the govmomi API. Not only is it a tool to use, but also it's source base is a great resource of examples on how to exercise the API.
