Description

Add ability to configure timeout for Reconfiguration tasks after virtual machine creation. Now the timeout value is a constant equal to 5 minutes

Use Case(s)

If VM Reconfiguration tasks take more than 5 minutes, then the task does not complete successfully. The ability to configure the timeout in the provider settings will avoid this problem. To do this, you can use the api_timeout parameter that was added earlier.

Potential Terraform Provider Configuration

provider "vsphere"  {
  vsphere_server = var.vsphere_vcenter
   user           = var.vsphere_user
   password       = var.vsphere_password
   api_timeout    = 20
}
