Good mockup! I have a few comments though:

tooltip displayed when the user hovers over it. I don't think that
button states very clearly what it does, even though I don't have a
better suggestion for another icon right now.
* When the user clicks on the button "+", a snapshot should be created
right away. I don't think we should let them choose a name when
creating a snapshot. Just to make things simpler for them. Later the
user should be able to rename the snapshots, so that the text field
and the floppy disk button won't exist for now. Currently, the
backend doesn't support snapshot renaming.
* There could be another column displaying the creation time (i.e. the
field 'created' in the snapshot JSON structure). 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.

I thought about adding a different icon (like the "loading" one) to
indicate that.

what is the response of https://9.123.141.22:8001/vms/windows-01/snapshots?

As snapshot is a capture of vm state, I think only those milestone vm
states will be captured as snapshot.
So name is quite key for user to identify that milestone, personally, I
will always tend to specify a name when create a snapshot.
Compare with 'name', I think 'creation' time is not that important at
all, but good to have.

How to get the creation time?

1) how to get current snapshot.
2) for a vm that is always in use, the time it is reverted to a certain
snapshot, the time update is already made to vm.
The longer the vm is used, the longer the vm is far from that
snapshot, what is the significance to track to the snapshot that is
lastly reverted to?

A list of that VM's snapshots.

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

GET /vms/<vm-name>/snapshots/current
2) for a vm that is always in use, the time it is reverted to a
certain snapshot, the time update is already made to vm.

snapshot, what is the significance to track to the snapshot that is

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