Hello Deepak, I am also currently considering with the question you raised. As far as I can say at the moment is the supports_check_mode parameter is always set to true, but the check_mode is not queried or checked anywhere. This means that it is indicated that the check mode is supported, although it is not. The --check parameter therefore has no effect. The check mode is not supported. Best regards Stefan
