vmpooler has the vsphere provider taken out, moving some vsphere related
methods to the provider:
1) pool_folders
2) get_base_folders
At the same time renaming some configuration and code items
to remove harmful terminology.
purge_unconfigured_folders DEPRECATED, use purge_unconfigured_resources
folder_whitelist DEPRECATED, use resources_allowlist
the above configuration items are still supported but will be removed in
the next major version.
base class method purge_unconfigured_folders was renamed to purge_unconfigured_resources
and requires the equivalent change in the provider classes
abc
This commit adds the extra_config option to vmpooler to allow specifying additional configuration files to load from. Without this change vmpooler does not offer a mechanism to provide additional configuration files for the application.
This commit adds a new configuration parameter to allow setting whether to create linked clones on a global, or per pool basis. Without this change vmpooler would always attempt to create linked clones. The default behavior of creating linked clones is preserved.
This commit updates vmpooler to set configuration values received via environment variables to integer values when an integer value is expected. Without this change vmpooler does not support setting integer values via environment variables. Additionally, testing is added for configuring vmpooler via environment variables.
To support this testing the gem climate_control is added, which allows
for testing environment variables without those set variables leaking to
other tests.
