Creating and Managing Product Snapshots
Last Updated January 26, 2025

You can use the snapshot inventory controller APIs to trigger a snapshot of any product that you deployed using
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
. When you take a snapshot, you capture the product state at a particular date and time.
If you use
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
 to trigger the product snapshot, you can use
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
 to manage the snapshot.
You only use the snapshot inventory controller APIs to take snapshots of products and not of
VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
 itself.
For a list of best practices when using VMware snapshots in the vSphere environment, see https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1025279.
