    This function only works for ESXi, not vCenter.

    :param host: The location of the ESXi Host
    :param username: Username to connect as
    :param password: Password for the ESXi web endpoint

    :param port: defaults to 443 for https
    :param certificate_verify: If true require that the SSL connection present
