Checkpoint support

[gcotone]

Hi,
First of all, thanks for the module.

I was wondering if there're plans for supporting checkpoint management, rollback, etc.

Hello gcotone,
Thank you for filing this request. We'll look into checkpoint management in a future update. Here are some functions that I can foresee being created:

'get_all_checkpoint'
'get_checkpoint'
'load_checkpoint'
'create_checkpoint'
'delete_checkpoint'

Can you suggest any other use cases that may be missing from this list, and further expand into your rollback request?

Hi @alvinc13 ,

Personally, I'd like to see a function to list the available checkpoints, i.e list_checkpoint(), and also integrate the proposed get_* functions with the existing get_(all_)config:

pyaoscx/pyaoscx/config.py

Line 31 in 29d3fb9

def get_config(config_name, **kwargs):

Same for loading and creating checkpoints where copy_config could be leveraged for that purpose, using a named checkpoint as src or dst name respectively. E.g.:

• Create checkpoint -> copy_config(running_config, checkpoint_name_1234)
• Load Checkpoint -> copy_config(checkpoint_name_1234, running_config)
