Snapshots

Create a snapshot of a VM

Changed on Oct 26, 2026

Beta: the snapshot record is created and returned with status creating, but snapshot capture is not yet enabled on the data plane. A terminated VM answers 400, and a VM with a snapshot already being created answers 409.

Requires the compute.operate permission. See Permissions for the roles and API key permissions that include it.
