In the settings below:
By default it is set to "Do not delete the Snapshot".
So after updating the VM, the snapshot will stay there until we delete it manually.
if I set it  to "keep for : 1 hour"
then if  the update takes longer than one hour , the snapshot will probably  be deleted before even the update  has completed the install. in some instance updates install can be slow
What is the best practice for those settings ?
Thank you

VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
