Building out a YAML parser for tf files for vmware.

YAML TO HCL for VSPHERE

This code is designed to convert a YAML configuration into HCL. Basic usage is as follows:

python3 main.py --yaml {{ some_file }}.yml

or

python3 main.py -y {{ some_file }}.yml

TODO Items:

These are the items left to work on:

1. Allow for multiple disks and networks
2. Allow for shorthand of certain fields
3. Allow for customize options in the clone field
4. Allow for clone using count for multiple VMs
5. Possibly add a 'kind' to manage more than just VMs
6. Allow for vm creation without using a clone

Example YAML

The below YAML excerpt will provide a foundation for building with this: NOTE: Read the TODO items first, some functionality is finnicky.
