A list of that VM's snapshots.<br>

<li>There could be another column displaying the creation time

That's a very important information when talking about
snapshots. In the mockup example, we can see the time the
snapshot was created because the time is in its name, but
that won't be the case forever, the user will be able to
rename the snapshot.</li>

How to get the creation time?<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
It's the field '<tt>created</tt>' in the snapshot JSON structure.
For example:<br>
<br>
<tt>GET /vms/<vm-name>/snapshots/<snapshot-name></tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>{</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> "state":"shutoff",</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> "name":<snapshot-name>,</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> "parent":"",</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> "created":"1415641404"</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>}</tt><br>
<br>
That's the number of seconds elapsed since Jan 1, 1970 (i.e. the
Unix Epoch).<br>

1) how to get current snapshot. <br>

<br>
<tt>GET /vms/<vm-name>/snapshots/current</tt><br>

The longer the vm is used, the longer the vm is far from that

<br>
When the VM has many snapshots, it's useful to know "where" it is
currently.<br>
