API: virtualmachine VPC information not returned

[rvalle]

ISSUE TYPE

• Enhancement Request

COMPONENT NAME

API

SUMMARY

Currently, it is possible to list instances filtered by VPC, yet the information returned by the API includes no VPC information. In the case of our Ansible Inventory plugin, this translates into having the ability to "filter" by VPC, but not to group by VPC. Grouping by VPC is very desirable because allows to target specific VPCs with automation playbooks.

HOW THE FEATURE WOULD BE USED

Once VPC information is returned with instance data, the Ansible Inventory Plugin will be able to run playbooks targeting an specific VPC.

I am not sure of the best implementation, currently the virtualmachine information inclues a nic array with ip information and network information such as:

"networkid": "975331fe-1b24-4921-933e-26ccf00eb2a3",
"networkname": "frontend",

perhaps when the nic information could also include vpcid,vpcname when the network happens to belong to a VPC.

Thanks @rvalle and @Pearl1594 for the quick fix. You can find it already on the 4.17 branch and also on main branch while 4.17.1 and/or 4.18 are not released
