vRO plug-in 3.1

Released 23 May 2018

This section contains improvements and fixes in this version.

New in this version

Support for an SSH key for login to Linux agents.
First run of Puppet is controlled tightly for better reliability instead of an automatic async run.
Hostnames are used throughout instead of IP addresses to connect to new agents.
Many properties have override capability. For example, Puppet.RoleClass.Override
Accepts Windows MSI installer props so users can set alternate run-as user for Puppet agent (to access network shares, etc).
Property to exit install workflow with success to preserve hosts for debugging. Puppet.Debug.KeepFailedVMs
Properties to specify desired Windows auth schemes: Puppet.WinRM.AuthMethod, Puppet.WinRM.UseHTTPS
No longer dependent on vCenter, which means they might be suitable for AWS, Azure, Openstack provisioning with vRA (not currently with Puppet drag-n-drop component).

sudo is used everywhere in Linux workflows and actions. It was absent in a couple of places previously causing issues on some OSs.
Remove Master workflow does not hard fail if master not present. Leaves log message and finishes with success so vRA gets no error when removing endpoint.
Better handling of warnings in Windows to prevent transient errors especially on Windows 2016.
Resolution of Puppet master restart issues when purging nodes. Now Puppet master handles CRL reload automatically with no downtime (PE 2017.3 and higher).
