So I think to answer your question, look at the top of the playbook
---
- hosts: 127.0.0.1
#
gather_facts: false
connection: local
I ran this against my Ansible script running host, with a local connection,
and I said "don't ask about facts"
So I think it runs on the ansible host
The ansible host has pyvmomi so it can talk to ESXi
I supply ESXI creds
The ansible host uses pyvmomi ON ITSELF and then connects via the API to
the specified ESXi
Something like that.
