+VMware Dynamic Inventory Plugin
+===============================
+
+
+The best way to interact with your hosts is to use the VMware dynamic inventory plugin, which dynamically queries VMware APIs and
+tells Ansible what nodes can be managed.
+
+To be able to use this VMware dynamic inventory plugin, you need to enable it first by specifying the following in the ``ansible.cfg`` file:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+  [inventory]
+  enable_plugins = vmware_vm_inventory
+
+Then, create a file that ends in ``.vmware.yml`` or ``.vmware.yaml`` in your working directory.
+
+The ``vmware_vm_inventory`` script takes in the same authentication information as any VMware module.
+
+Here's an example of a valid inventory file:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    plugin: vmware_vm_inventory
+    strict: False
+    hostname: 10.65.223.31
+    username: administrator@vsphere.local
+    password: Esxi@123$%
+    validate_certs: False
+    with_tags: True
+
+
+Executing ``ansible-inventory --list -i <filename>.vmware.yml`` will create a list of VMware instances that are ready to be configured using Ansible.
