Hi Nicolas,
We've been encouraging VMware to support jclouds-vsphere but there are deprecated projects available and there are some commercial plugins for several of the vmware items including vsphere. (Drop me a non-list email if you're interested in that.)
If you want to write your own you'll either want to provide a `MachineProvisioningLocation` implementation in Brooklyn (non-jclouds) or write a jclouds provider (or build on one of the deprecated ones) and add it to the `dropins` folder of Brooklyn (it will get picked up automatically).
And yes, you can manually invoke "effectors" via REST or UI or CLI -- these are the levers policies pull e.g. the autoscaler policy typically calls "resize". You can also change policies (suspend, reconfigure, add, remove) at runtime.

Hi, I think Brooklyn doesn’t support vmware as a provider (it seems that vsphere support is discontinued in jclouds). If I want to write my own provider, where in the code should I look at? Also another question: does brooklyn allow to trigger policy by hand? (I want to be able to scale up/down but manually) Regards, Nicolas Zin
