vmware_image_upload

===================

Ansible role which helps to upload VM image to VMware vCenter.

The configuration of the role is done in such way that it should not be

necessary to change the role for any kind of configuration. All can be

done either by changing role parameters or by declaring completely new

configuration as a variable. That makes this role absolutely

universal. See the examples below for more details.

Please report any issues or send PR.
