Which solution to support for chaining machine image builds?

[sestegra]

In order to enable chaining of multiple layered images, the vmware-clone builder needs to be used.

Which alternative to using, full clone or linked clone?
If the linked clone option is selected, the create_snapshot parameter should be added to the current project.

What do you think about it?

I have more of a preference for full clones for a server OS and linked clones for a desktop OS (e.g., Windows 11/10 for Horizon).
