We take a snapshot just after a VM creation, just to have a point of
origin to roll back to in case of total f-up:) Looks like this:

while api.vms.get(VM_NAME).snapshots.list()[1].get_snapshot_status() ==
'locked':

In our case, we only have one snapshot at that time though, since the VM
has just been created. Your code would have to be more complex to find
the most recent one, I´d think.
