Have you checked out tools such as Ansible and Salt? They've done a lot of the hard work for many common operations in vsphere.

Believe it or not, Ansible is what I'm using right now. Except wrapping a friendly web-app around the deployment bits.

My hat is off to their developers, about an hour of dealing directly with VMWare SOAP API was a prelude to a migraine.
