Description

Based on: https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi/issues/25

The equivalent Java Code I found :

    ClusterAffinityRuleSpec cars = new ClusterAffinityRuleSpec();
    cars.setName("App and DB Appliance Bundle");
    cars.setEnabled(Boolean.TRUE);
    ManagedObjectReference vm1 = createMOR("VirtualMachine", vm1_oid);
    ManagedObjectReference vm2 = createMOR("VirtualMachine", vm2_oid);
    cars.setVm(new ManagedObjectReference[] {vm1, vm2});

Author a pyVmomi sample that accomplishes the same or similar.

Research direction
The issue requests a sample that creates a VM affinity rule using pyvmomi. The Java code in the issue provides a clear pattern: create a ClusterAffinityRuleSpec, set name and enabled, then set the VM list. In pyvmomi, use the vim.cluster.AffinityRuleSpec class and the ReconfigureComputeResource method. Look at existing samples in the repository for patterns. The sample should be placed in the appropriate directory, likely under 'samples/'.
