+vAPI Samples for Managing vSphere Infrastructure and Virtual Machines
+
+The directory vsphere.samples.vcenter contains samples for the vSphere infrastructure and virtual machine APIs. You have two options to run samples inside this package:
+
+    * Run all samples under vcenter folder using main.py in samples.vsphere.vcenter.setup package.
+    Please see the [README](../../../README.md#running-a-complex-sample) for more details.
+
+    * Run an individual sample in an existing environment.
+    You can either pass the environment parameters through command line arguments or specify them in setup.py in the setup package.
+    For example, to run the create_default_vm sample in the vsphere.samples.vcenter.vm.create package:
+
+        * $ cd /path/to/vsphere-automation-sdk-python-samples/client/bin
+
+        * Run the sample with the testbed settings specified in setup.py in a Linux machine:
+
+            * $ ./run_sample.sh ../samples/vsphere/vcenter/vm/create/create_default_vm.py -v
+
+        * Or specify the credentials using command line parameters:
+
+            * $ ./run_sample.sh ../samples/vsphere/vcenter/vm/create/create_default_vm.py -s <server> -u <username> -p <password> -v
