notes:
- Tested on vSphere 5.5, 6.0
- Tested on vSphere 5.5, 6.0 and 6.5
requirements:
- "python >= 2.6"
- PyVmomi

- Manage snapshots attached to a specific virtual machine.
required: True
choices: ['present', 'absent', 'revert', 'remove_all']
default: 'present'
description:
- Manage snapshot(s) attached to a specific virtual machine.
- If set to C(present) and snapshot absent, then will create a new snapshot with the given name.
- If set to C(present) and snapshot present, then no changes are made.
- If set to C(absent) and snapshot present, then snapshot with the given name is removed.
- If set to C(absent) and snapshot absent, then no changes are made.
- If set to C(revert) and snapshot present, then virtual machine state is reverted to the given snapshot.
- If set to C(revert) and snapshot absent, then no changes are made.
- If set to C(remove_all) and snapshot(s) present, then all snapshot(s) will be removed.
- If set to C(remove_all) and snapshot(s) absent, then no changes are made.
