Hello - I am new to Pulumi. Currently having issues deploying to a local vCenter using vsphere provider. Just wondering if anyone here has any experience deploying to Vsphere?

I'm most likely missing something. I am not sure why my variables aren't working.

it looks like you’re not passing the right type disks is an array: https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/vsphere/api-docs/virtualmachine/#virtualmachinedisk as is network interfaces: https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/vsphere/api-docs/virtualmachine/#virtualmachinenetworkinterface So it’d be:

Copy code

disks:
      - label: "disktf"
        size: 70
        thinProvisioned: true
      networkInterfaces:
       -

✅ 1
