This allows for non-generalized (or non-sysprepped) osStates to be copied and deployed across regions. Will work as approved work around for copying VMs across regions which need to maintain identical runtimes.
Spoke with @tamirkamara on this previously offline. I was able to get the extension configured locally with the Azdev tools and ran a quick test to replicate a single region. This was successful. As far as development best practices, there may be a better way to do this, but for now I've essentially added two if/else statements and the switch parameter
--export-as-snapshot
which will 1) skip the image creation, and 2) place the temp snapshots into thetarget_resource_group
vs thetransient_resource-group
depending on what the desired output is.LMK if there is anything else that needs testing or improvement. Feel free to reach out again directly.
