Research direction
This issue requests a new community sample script for listing and filtering resource pools using pyVmomi. The repository contains existing samples that can serve as reference. The contributor should familiarize themselves with pyVmomi's ResourcePool and ClusterComputeResource objects, and examine the vSphere API documentation. No linked PRs or assignees exist, so work can begin independently. The issue lacks specific criteria for filtering, so the contributor may propose a design.
