1. See general guidelines: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_modules_general.html

2. Install pre-commit and tox

   pip install tox pre-commit
   pre-commit install

3. When new module is implemented, don't forget to update py_modules section in setup.py file.

4. When new module is implemented, it should be covered with tests. Run tests using tox

   tox

5. Module name should consist of three parts separated by underscore: waldur, plugin name, entity name. For example, waldur_os_snapshot refers to OpenStack (OS) as plugin name and snapshot as entity name.
