Cleanup VMWare Snapshots
This template cleans the snapshots of a VMWare environment older than n days. Additionally, filters can be set to exclude certain VM's or templates.
Problem definition
In most companies, the creation of snapshots is not allowed because they are rarely cleaned up again. This template allows team members to create snapshots and automatically delete them after n days. In addition, exceptions can be defined for VM's or snapshots that may not be deleted.
