Creating a Snapshot

Before making major changes to a VM, it is always a good practice to create a snapshot.

Check Prerequisites before creating a snapshot.

Endpoint: POST /v1/machines/{id}/snapshots

Description: Captures the current state of the virtual machine and saves it as a new snapshot. You can provide a name and description to easily identify the snapshot later.

Example Request:

curl -X POST "https://api.example.com/v1/machines/123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000/snapshots" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TOKEN>" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
           "snapshot_name": "Before big upgrade",
           "snapshot_description": "Snapshot taken before applying OS updates."
         }'

Input Reference (CreateSnapShotRequest):

  "snapshot_name": "string (optional)",
  "snapshot_description": "string (optional)"
}

Output Reference (CreateSnapShotResponse):

  "snapshot_name": "string",
