  1. Read the module documentation. Description and parameters will describe what they do.

    Ansible 2.10 is the first release where most modules and plugins have moved to collections. Long fully-qualified names are the unambiguous way to refer to these.

    Short names from 2.9 can still be used, due to compatibility redirects. As the 2.10 porting guide says first thing, your playbooks should continue to work without any changes.

    In theory, VMware collection maintainers could have removed the prefix on the name, resulting in community.vmware.guest but they didn't.
