    The vsphere.VirtualMachineSnapshot resource can be used to manage snapshots for a virtual machine.

    For more information on managing snapshots and how they work in VMware, see here.

    NOTE: A snapshot in VMware differs from traditional disk snapshots, and can contain the actual running state of the virtual machine, data for all disks that have not been set to be independent from the snapshot (including ones that have been attached via the attach parameter to the vsphere.VirtualMachine disk block), and even the configuration of the virtual machine at the time of the snapshot. Virtual machine, disk activity, and configuration changes post-snapshot are not included in the original state. Use this resource with care! Neither VMware nor HashiCorp recommends retaining snapshots for a extended period of time and does NOT recommend using them as as backup feature. For more information on the limitation of virtual machine snapshots, see here.

    Example Usage

    using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Pulumi;
using VSphere = Pulumi.VSphere;

return await Deployment.RunAsync(() =>

        Description = "This is Demo Snapshot",
        Memory = true,
        Quiesce = true,
        RemoveChildren = false,
        SnapshotName = "Snapshot Name",
        VirtualMachineUuid = "9aac5551-a351-4158-8c5c-15a71e8ec5c9",
    });

});
