/**
 * The `vsphere.CustomAttribute` resource can be used to create and manage custom
 * attributes, which allow users to associate user-specific meta-information with
 * vSphere managed objects. Custom attribute values must be strings and are stored
 * on the vCenter Server and not the managed object.
 *
 * For more information about custom attributes, click [here][ext-custom-attributes].
 *
 * [ext-custom-attributes]: https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/vmware-cis/vsphere/vsphere/8-0/vcenter-and-host-management-8-0/vsphere-tags-and-attributes-host-management/custom-attributes-in-the-vsphere-client-host-management.html
 *
 * > **NOTE:** Custom attributes are unsupported on direct ESXi host connections
 * and require vCenter Server.
 *
 * ## Example Usage
 *
 * This example creates a custom attribute named `test-attribute`. The
 * resulting custom attribute can be assigned to VMs only.
 *
 * ```typescript
 * import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
 * import * as vsphere from "@pulumi/vsphere";
 *
 * const attribute = new vsphere.CustomAttribute("attribute", {
 *     name: "test-attribute",
 *     managedObjectType: "VirtualMachine",
 * });
 * ```
 *
 * ## Import
 *
 * An existing custom attribute can be imported into this resource
 *
 * via its name, using the following command:
 *
 * [docs-import]: https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/import
 *
 * ```sh
 * $ pulumi import vsphere:index/customAttribute:CustomAttribute attribute terraform-test-attribute
 * ```
