Create image/snapshot from server

[saurabhnanda]

Is it possible to do this operation from the any hetzner/ansible plugin: https://docs.hetzner.cloud/#server-actions-create-image-from-a-server ?

Hey @saurabhnanda,

creating a snapshot is not possible with ansible because this action wouldn't be idempotent.

To be clear. It is possible, but the task will result always in changing one.
Other cloud vandors implement such feature also

Would be somehow nicer if everything comes from one source and you don't have to load in foreign modules that you don't need otherwise.
