Snapshots in Manila originally only allow 1 narrow use case: creating new shares from snapshots. Not only is it hard or impossible for some backend implementations to support that use case, but it's needlessly expensive way to solve many real world problems. We propose to support new APIs that allow snapshots to be used in different ways, and to provide a mechanism for end users to discover which semantics are supported by a given instance of Manila.
