Before this change, an instance must be present for make use of state=stopped/started. Now we are deploying an instance in the desire state if it does not exist.
In this case all args needed to deploy the instance must be passed. However the short form for stopping/starting an _existing_ instance still works as before.
Creates a VMware vSwitch
We have an end-to-end playbook that performs bare metal provisioning and
configuration of vSphere.
The playbooks/tasks and results from that testing is what will be listed
in this PR.
If there are any questions please let either @jcpowermac or @mtnbikenc
know.
Tested with version

Right now even if you pass in an empty tags list to the module (either with
an empty string or null) it will erroneously think the tags list have changed
and re-apply the tags on every run
