Hi, Here is the scenario: I am on an ubuntu 12.04 host, and want to be able to run a puppet script on another ubuntu 12.04 and Centos 6.3 host, which are VMWare VM's and be able to:
1. Start / Stop The VM 2. Take a snap Shot 3. delete the VM 4. make a FRESH copy of a BASELINE VM, and start it up I only have ssh capability to the remote machines, but i can also run the ssh command via Jenkins ( Continuous Integration Server ) The search for this sort of capability leads me to : The answers i found lead me towards using [perl api for VMware orchestration.][1] or [VirtuallyGhetto][2] but cannot find puppet samples, where a user can get permissions to create a VM SnapShot, and also revert it, without having root access, or admin rights. I also found [vmth][3] but VMTH currently only works in a QEMU+KVM environment [1]: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/index.html [2]: http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/p/vmware-vsphere-sdk-for-perl-vi-perl.html [3]: https://github.com/gregretkowski/vmth/ to me this is something very basic, and SHOULD be available in puppet natively, but i just cannot seem to find it.
