I can use vmware_deploy_ovf to deploy a VM from an OVF file on my ansible controller or from an OVF file on a HTTP server. This way, I can fully customize the template using the inject_ovf_env and properties arguments. But this module always requires the transfer of the OVF file for each VM. Therefore, I would like to use vmware_content_deploy_ovf_template to deploy from an already existing OVF file in the content library. But vmware_content_deploy_ovf_template does not allow the injection of an OVF env and therefore I cannot customize the deployment.
It would be nice to have the same inject_ovf_env feature like in vmware_deploy_ovf.
Unlike the deploy_ovf module, the vmware_content_deploy_ovf_template module uses the Rest API. The deploy method for LibraryItem accepts a block in deployment_specadditional_parameters, but the format of this block is not clear to me, and additional research is needed on how to prepare data for use there.
Otherwise, implementation of this feature does not look complicated.
