Description

Add option to retry on failures to upload templates to vsphere environment.
This can be done similar to what was done for vagrant-cloud post processor or can be done with giving customer a option on packer file to add retry and count to retry.

Use Case(s)

An intermittent error occurs during the upload phase of template. Adding a retry variable that retries x number of times to allow greater success.

Potential configuration

"post-processors":  [
{"type": "vsphere",
"retry": 4,
....
}],
....
