This reposiroty packaged below two components to manage VCD,

Ansible playbooks are the client which use modules as a gateway to interact with VCD. We have written various ansible playbooks to show how to interact with VCD. We are using ansible roles to define playbooks in modular fashion for each module. Please refer roles and main.yml to see usage.
