Will deleting a snapshot affect the running Virtual Machine?

No, deleting a snapshot only removes the stored state at a previous point in time. It does not affect the current state or availability of the running Virtual Machine.

What permissions are required for this skill?

You need a ServiceAccount with RBAC permissions to 'delete' resources of the kind 'VirtualMachineSnapshot' within the target OpenShift namespace.

Can I delete a snapshot while a restore is in progress?

No, the skill includes logic to detect if a snapshot is currently being used by a VirtualMachineRestore resource and will prevent deletion to ensure data integrity.

Is snapshot deletion reversible?

No, snapshot deletion is a permanent operation. Once deleted, that specific recovery point for the Virtual Machine cannot be restored.

Does this skill work with any Kubernetes cluster?

This skill is designed specifically for OpenShift Virtualization (KubeVirt) and requires the openshift-virtualization MCP server to be configured.

Deletes virtual machine snapshots in OpenShift Virtualization to reclaim storage and manage recovery points.

The vm-snapshot-delete skill provides a safe, guided workflow for permanently removing Virtual Machine Snapshots from OpenShift Virtualization environments. It automates the verification of snapshot existence, assesses the impact of deletion by listing remaining recovery points for the target VM, and enforces a strict human-in-the-loop confirmation process to prevent accidental data loss. This tool is essential for managing storage costs and maintaining snapshot retention policies within Kubernetes-based virtualized infrastructure while ensuring users are fully aware of the recovery impact before execution.
