Maybe I am just lazy but I LOVE the way vCloud Director handles linked clones. It has saved us a ton of disk space and it is also hands off. Will vCAC be adopting the same sort of method where I can simply turn them on for a blueprint or reservation or something of that nature? We have been using linked clones in conjunction with a "Master Catalog" org in vCD. It has been really nice as vCD will spin up a shadow vm for you on whatever datastore you are deploying to. I can't see using linked clones in our environment very easily with vCAC and the current implementation as I would need a snap on every datastore I intend to deploy to (unless I am missing something). I am still new to vCAC but a long time vCD user now.
