+Type: `vsphere-virtualmachine`
+Artifact BuilderId: `vsphere.virtualmachine`
+
+This data source retrieves information about existing virtual machines from vSphere
+and return name of one virtual machine that matches all specified filters. This virtual
+machine can be used in the vSphere Clone builder to select a template.
+
+## Configuration Reference
+
+### Filters Configuration
+
+**Optional:**
+
+<!-- Code generated from the comments of the Config struct in datasource/virtualmachine/data.go; DO NOT EDIT MANUALLY -->
+
+- `name` (string) - Basic filter with glob support (e.g. `ubuntu_basic*`). Defaults to `*`.
+  Using strict globs will not reduce execution time because vSphere API
+  returns the full inventory. But can be used for better readability over
+  regular expressions.
+
+- `name_regex` (string) - Extended name filter with regular expressions support
+  (e.g. `ubuntu[-_]basic[0-9]*`). Default is empty. The match of the
+  regular expression is checked by substring. Use `^` and `$` to define a
+  full string. For example, the `^[^_]+$` filter will search names
+  without any underscores. The expression must use
+  [Go Regex Syntax](https://pkg.go.dev/regexp/syntax).
+
+- `template` (bool) - Filter to return only objects that are virtual machine templates.
+  Defaults to `false` and returns all virtual machines.
+
+- `host` (string) - Filter to search virtual machines only on the specified ESX host.
+
+- `tag` ([]Tag) - Filter to return only that virtual machines that have attached all
+  specifies tags. Specify one or more `tag` blocks to define list of tags
+   for the filter.
+
+  HCL Example:
+
+  ```hcl
+  	tag {
+  	  category = "team"
+  	  name = "operations"
+  	}
+  	tag {
+  	  category = "sla"
+  	  name = "gold"
+  	}
+  ```
+
+- `latest` (bool) - This filter determines how to handle multiple machines that were
+  matched with all previous filters. Machine creation time is being used
+  to find latest. By default, multiple matching machines results in an
+  error.
+
+<!-- End of code generated from the comments of the Config struct in datasource/virtualmachine/data.go; -->
+
+
+### Tags Filter Configuration
+
+**Required:**
+
+<!-- Code generated from the comments of the Tag struct in datasource/virtualmachine/data.go; DO NOT EDIT MANUALLY -->
+
+- `name` (string) - Name of the tag added to virtual machine which must pass the `tag`
+  filter.
+
+- `category` (string) - Name of the tag category that contains the tag.
+
+  -> **Note:** Both `name` and `category` must be specified in the `tag`
+  filter.
+
+<!-- End of code generated from the comments of the Tag struct in datasource/virtualmachine/data.go; -->
+
+
+### Connection Configuration
+
+**Optional:**
+
+<!-- Code generated from the comments of the ConnectConfig struct in builder/vsphere/common/step_connect.go; DO NOT EDIT MANUALLY -->
+
+- `vcenter_server` (string) - The fully qualified domain name or IP address of the vCenter Server
+  instance.
+
+- `username` (string) - The username to authenticate with the vCenter Server instance.
+
+- `password` (string) - The password to authenticate with the vCenter Server instance.
+
+- `insecure_connection` (bool) - Do not validate the certificate of the vCenter Server instance.
+  Defaults to `false`.
+
+  -> **Note:** This option is beneficial in scenarios where the certificate
+  is self-signed or does not meet standard validation criteria.
+
+- `datacenter` (string) - The name of the datacenter object in the vSphere inventory.
+
+  -> **Note:** Required if more than one datacenter object exists in the
+  vSphere inventory.
+
+<!-- End of code generated from the comments of the ConnectConfig struct in builder/vsphere/common/step_connect.go; -->
+
+
+## Output
+
+<!-- Code generated from the comments of the DatasourceOutput struct in datasource/virtualmachine/data.go; DO NOT EDIT MANUALLY -->
+
+- `vm_name` (string) - Name of the found virtual machine.
+
+<!-- End of code generated from the comments of the DatasourceOutput struct in datasource/virtualmachine/data.go; -->
+
+
+## Example Usage
+
+This example demonstrates how to connect to vSphere cluster and search for the latest virtual machine
+that matches the filters. The name of the machine is then output to the console as an output variable.
+```hcl
+data "vsphere-virtualmachine" "default" {
+    vcenter_server = "vcenter.example.com"
+    insecure_connection = true
+    username = "[email protected]"
+    password = "VMware1!"
+    datacenter = "dc-01"
+    latest = true
+    tags {
+	  category = "team"
+	  name = "operations"
+	}
+	tags {
+	  category = "sla"
+	  name = "gold"
+	}
+
+}
+
+locals {
+  vm_name = data.vsphere-virtualmachine.default.vm_name
+}
+
+source "null" "example" {
+    communicator = "none"
+}
+
+build {
+  sources = [
+    "source.null.example"
+  ]
+
+  provisioner "shell-local" {
+    inline = [
+      "echo vm_name: ${local.vm_name}",
+    ]
+  }
+}
