Working on completing a template pipeline for my deployment system.
I have chunks of code for doing parts of the template automation with help from code samples from Mr. Lam and others.
Out automated deployment system does not have the ability to utilize the content library, and needs to deploy from a VM template object. Since we have 6+ sites/ vcenters I am using the content library in a master -> subscription method.
Flow of code:
Delete content library items on master vCenter.
-sync each vcenter content library to see the deletes
Clone updated vm tempaltes to content library.
Sync each vCenter to see the new templates and await the download of the new templates
Per each vCenter:
Delete existing VM templates where name matches content library items
Create new vm from content library items
convert vm to template
The areas I am having trouble finding any api documentation or powercli documentation is:
* Initializing the sync operation for a content library.
* Cloning a VM to create a new content library item.
Yes I know from William Lam's post there is an option to version templates as well, that i will implement in a new version
Has anyone come across a way to complete these two code operations?
