SUMMARY

When creating a VM with the vmware_guest module, it's possible to specify a cluster and a resource pool.
In my case, I have a cluster with resource pools and child resource pools. Example: two resource pools RP1 and RP2 with each a child resource pool SubRP:

cluster
├── RP1
│   └── SubRP
└── RP2
    └── SubRP

I need to create a VM in the RP2 / SubRP resource pool. However I can only specify the resource_pool: SubRP parameter (which will select either RP1 / SubRP or RP2 / SubRP as the module will take the first resource that it finds with the matching name).
It would be useful to be able to specify a path in the resource_pool parameter to select a child resource pool. E.g.

---
- name: Create a VM
  vmware_guest:
    hostname: "{{ vcenter_hostname }}"
    username: "{{ vcenter_username }}"
    password: "{{ vcenter_password }}"
    datacenter: "{{ vcenter_datacenter }}"
    cluster: "cluster"
    resource_pool: "/RP1/SubRP"
    ...
