The final module of this section is another self-explanatory one; it simply waits for VMware tools to become available and then gathers facts on the machine:

- name: Wait for VMware tools to become available by name
  vmware_guest_tools_wait:
    hostname: "{{ vsphere_host }}"
    username: "{{ vsphere_username }}"
    password: "{{ vsphere_password }}"
    validate_certs: "no"
    folder: "/vms"
    name: "yet_another_example_vm"
  delegate_to: localhost
  register: facts

VMware tools is an application that runs inside the VM. Once it starts, it allows VMware to interact with the VM, allowing modules such as vmware_guest_file_operation and vmware_vm_shell to function.
