const datacenter = vsphere.getDatacenter({

Using getDatacenter

Two invocation forms are available. The direct form accepts plain arguments and either blocks until the result value is available, or returns a Promise-wrapped result. The output form accepts Input-wrapped arguments and returns an Output-wrapped result.

function getDatacenter(args: GetDatacenterArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Promise<GetDatacenterResult>
function getDatacenterOutput(args: GetDatacenterOutputArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Output<GetDatacenterResult>

def get_datacenter(name: Optional[str] = None,
                   opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> GetDatacenterResult
def get_datacenter_output(name: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
                   opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> Output[GetDatacenterResult]

func LookupDatacenter(ctx *Context, args *LookupDatacenterArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) (*LookupDatacenterResult, error)
func LookupDatacenterOutput(ctx *Context, args *LookupDatacenterOutputArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) LookupDatacenterResultOutput

> Note: This function is named LookupDatacenter in the Go SDK.

public static class GetDatacenter 
{
    public static Task<GetDatacenterResult> InvokeAsync(GetDatacenterArgs args, InvokeOptions? opts = null)
    public static Output<GetDatacenterResult> Invoke(GetDatacenterInvokeArgs args, InvokeOptions? opts = null)
}

public static CompletableFuture<GetDatacenterResult> getDatacenter(GetDatacenterArgs args, InvokeOptions options)
public static Output<GetDatacenterResult> getDatacenter(GetDatacenterArgs args, InvokeOptions options)

    # arguments dictionary

The following arguments are supported:

Name string: The name of the datacenter. This can be a name or path. Can be omitted if there is only one datacenter in the inventory.
NOTE: When used with an ESXi host, this data source always returns the host's "default" datacenter, which is a special datacenter name unrelated to the datacenters that exist in the vSphere inventory when managed by a vCenter Server instance. Hence, the name attribute is completely ignored.
