@vjtm thanks for the issue, if you're up to make a PR we'll be happy to review it.

@Miouge1 see also the Getting Started with VMware Cloud Native Storage

I would love to work on that, however some guidelines about how to add an external cloud provider would be nice.

Is there any information about the project structure?

Edit: I guess the External OpenStack Cloud Controller Manager implementation is a good enough reference.

Hi, if you plan to work on this, I would gladly do the review.

Brilliant! I'm tagging this for 2.13, but we can move it to 2.14 depending on how things go.

There is a problem with External vSphere Cloud Provider Interface | Create a CPI configMap, vSphere CSI Driver | Create a CSI secret tasks.

For example, when I run a playbook in the first time it is ok, but when I run the playbook in the second time I get the error:

TASK [kubernetes-apps/external_cloud_controller/vsphere : External vSphere Cloud Provider Interface | Create a CPI configMap] ************************************************************************************
fatal: [k8s-dev1-master1]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": ["/usr/local/bin/kubectl", "create", "configmap", "cloud-config", "--from-file=vsphere.conf=/etc/kubernetes/external-vsphere-cpi-cloud-config", "-n", "kube-system"], "delta": "0:00:00.089431", "end": "2020-05-29 11:51:54.796427", "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 1, "start": "2020-05-29 11:51:54.706996", "stderr": "Error from server (AlreadyExists): configmaps \"cloud-config\" already exists", "stderr_lines": ["Error from server (AlreadyExists): configmaps \"cloud-config\" already exists"], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []}

Thanks for #6210, I hadn't realized kubectl create would fail on subsequent runs!

We should probably close this issue now as the main feature has been implemented.

Also got hit by it, thank you for quick fix :)

How would this work with multiple vSAN datastores over multiple clusters?

I believe some modifications would be required, essentially the following needs to be implemented:
