Synchronize templates for use with vRA on remote sites.

[dbis7575]

We have several vCenters managing a combined 70+ remote sites and the request is to be able to provision VMs in any location using vRA.

How do I ensure that we have a consistent template across all sites that we can address with vRA. Bandwidth is limited, so a local copy at the sites is needed.

The best way to achieve this is to replicate your templates out to those other remote sites but ensure they use the same names. This gets a little more tricky when those sites are represented by clusters and not datacenter objects and don't map 1:1 against a vCenter. I've done this in the past by using Veeam to convert those templates to virtual machines and replicate them periodically which enables a delta sync effect.
