Snapshot is one of the great feature which we have in vSphere and which can be used like backup whenever we want to perform any change in Virtual Machine.
There are multiple ways to take the snapshot for VM using multiple products/Language.
We can use vSphere GUI or Rest APIs or pyvmomi or PowerCli .
Also as precaution when take snapshot , it is recommended to delete the snapshot after x amount of times unless we will end up in datastore full or High space utilization by vmdk .
Recently I was working on used case where we need to make the custom form dynamics in VRA 8 . Dynamic custom forms ease the job because we do not need to hard code everything .
There are multiple ways to do this like you can use JavaScript which is being used in vro from long time
or
You can use Python and Utilize Rest API calls , Python support is added in VRA 8 design along with PowerCli.
I will be covering PowerCli language for the dynamic selection for Cluster, network and Folder
