    On the other hand, for VMWare I decide to use their API. For this I'd look at the Python libraries for VMWare (see [here](https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi)) and start reading the documentation. I'd write simple scripts that do the things I want to do. There are some great [code samples](https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python) to even get you started.
