+## Role Variables
+
+### Auth
+
+- **upload_iso_to_datastore_hostname** (str, required)
+    - The hostname or IP address of the vSphere vCenter or ESXi host.
+    - If this variable is not set, the collection level variable `vmware_ops_hostname` will be used. If that variable is not set, the environment variable `VMWARE_HOST` will be used. At least one of these variables must be set to use this role.
+    - See the [authentication documentation](https://github.com/redhat-cop/cloud.vmware_ops/blob/main/docs/authentication.md) for examples.
+
+- **upload_iso_to_datastore_username** (str, required)
+    - The vSphere vCenter or ESXi host username.
+    - If this variable is not set, the collection level variable `vmware_ops_username` will be used. If that variable is not set, the environment variable `VMWARE_USER` will be used. At least one of these variables must be set to use this role.
+    - See the [authentication documentation](https://github.com/redhat-cop/cloud.vmware_ops/blob/main/docs/authentication.md) for examples.

+
+- **upload_iso_to_datastore_port** (int or str)
+    - The port used to authenticate to the vSphere vCenter or ESXi host.
+    - If this variable is not set, the collection level variable `vmware_ops_port` will be used. If that variable is not set, the environment variable `VMWARE_PORT` will be used.

+All the variables defined in section [Role Variables](#role-variables) can be defined inside the ``vars.yml`` file.
+
+Create a ``playbook.yml`` file like this:
+
+```yaml
+---
+- hosts: localhost
+  gather_facts: true
+
+  tasks:
+    - name: Upload ISO to Datastore
+      ansible.builtin.import_role:
+        name: cloud.vmware_ops.upload_iso_to_datastore
+      vars:
+        upload_iso_to_datastore_hostname: "test"
+        upload_iso_to_datastore_username: "test"
+        upload_iso_to_datastore_password: "test"
