create_snapshot Method
Creates a new snapshot of a blob.
Syntax
def create_snapshot(blob: str) -> str: ...
Remarks
This method creates a new snapshot of the specified Blob in the container currently selected by container, and returns the opaque DateTime value used to identify the newly-created snapshot.
If the SendMetadataOnSnapshot configuration setting is enabled when this method is called, all items in the Metadata* properties will be sent in the request and applied to newly-created snapshot. Otherwise, the server will copy the metadata items from Blob to the snapshot.
If the specified blob has an active lease, a lease Id may optionally be specified using lease_id; the request will only succeed if the correct lease Id is specified.
