Missing functionality to create volume snapshots

[onitake]

SUMMARY

Migrated from: ansible/ansible#53264

There is currently no CloudStack module that can create volume snapshots.

The cs_volume module has a snapshot parameter, but apparently, it's only used to create a new volume from a snapshot.

I request a full-featured cs_volumesnapshot module that wraps the API calls:

• createSnapshot
• createSnapshotFromVMSnapshot
• deleteSnapshot
• listSnapshots
• revertSnapshot

A separate cs_volumesnapshotpolicy module may also be useful, wrapping

• createSnapshotPolicy
• deleteSnapshotPolicies
• listSnapshotPolicies
• updateSnapshotPolicy

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Example usage of the module would look like this:

- name: create volume snapshot
  cs_volumesnapshot:
    name: web-vm-1-volume-snapshot-1
    volume: web-vm-1-volume
  delegate_to: localhost

- name: create volume snapshot from VM snapshot
  cs_volumesnapshot:
    name: web-vm-1-volume-snapshot-1
    volume: web-vm-1-volume
    vmsnapshot: web-vm-1-snapshot-1
  delegate_to: localhost

- name: revert to volume snapshot
  cs_volumesnapshot:
    name: web-vm-1-volume-snapshot-1
    state: reverted
  delegate_to: localhost

- name: delete volume snapshot
  cs_volumesnapshot:
    name: web-vm-1-volume-snapshot-1
    state: absent
  delegate_to: localhost
