Good mockup! I have a few comments though:

The revert button (like all other buttons, I believe) should have a 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

How to get the creation time?

I think there should be a visual indication of the current snapshot. I thought about adding a different icon (like the "loading" one) to indicate that.

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?
