Abstract
The present disclosure is related to methods, systems, and machine-readable media for cloneless snapshot reversion. A request can be received to revert to a past snapshot of a virtual computing instance in a snapshot chain of a snapshot tree provided by a software defined data center. A live snapshot can be created at an end of the snapshot chain comprising the past snapshot. An intervening snapshot in the snapshot chain can be indicated as abandoned in a snapshot map associated with the snapshot tree based on the reversion.
