Creates a snapshot of an existing Amazon FSx for OpenZFS volume. With snapshots, you can easily undo file changes and compare file versions by restoring the volume to a previous version.
If a snapshot with the specified client request token exists, and the parameters match,
this operation returns the description of the existing snapshot. If a snapshot with
the specified client request token exists, and the parameters don't match, this operation
returns IncompatibleParameterError. If a snapshot with the specified client
request token doesn't exist, CreateSnapshot does the following:
Creates a new OpenZFS snapshot with an assigned ID, and an initial lifecycle state
of CREATING.
Returns the description of the snapshot.
By using the idempotent operation, you can retry a CreateSnapshot operation
without the risk of creating an extra snapshot. This approach can be useful when an
initial call fails in a way that makes it unclear whether a snapshot was created.
If you use the same client request token and the initial call created a snapshot,
the operation returns a successful result because all the parameters are the same.
The CreateSnapshot operation returns while the snapshot's lifecycle state is
still CREATING. You can check the snapshot creation status by calling the DescribeSnapshots
operation, which returns the snapshot state along with other information.
This is an asynchronous operation using the standard naming convention for .NET 4.5 or higher. For .NET 3.5 the operation is implemented as a pair of methods using the standard naming convention of BeginCreateSnapshot and EndCreateSnapshot.
