Design Spec: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/StorageSnapshot++API
Jira Ticket https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-9278 Hi All, We plan to propose a new set of APIs to do snapshots on managed storage backends like SolidFire. Snapshots on current managed storage stay on the device which is contrary to what CloudStack calls snpshots. But taking snapshots on storage and keeping it there has its own advantages and we would ideally like to have both ways of doing snapshots. This proposal adds 4 new APIs to create snapshots on backend storage. What do you guys think of this feature? I would love to have some feedback. I am working on making the design spec more concrete but wanted to have a high level feedback first before starting to work on it. Thanks, -Syed
