Snapshots and Images
Snapshots and Images are essential data protection and recovery features in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) used to back up and replicate VM disks and operating system configurations.

A snapshot is a point-in-time backup of a Persistent Disk (either standard or SSD). Snapshots are stored in Cloud Storage and can be used to restore data, clone disks, or migrate workloads. They are incremental, meaning only changes since the last snapshot are saved, which reduces storage costs and speeds up the process. Snapshots can be created manually or automatically using schedules, and they can be stored in multiple regions for disaster recovery.

An image, on the other hand, is a bootable disk copy used to create new VM instances. Images include the OS, installed software, and configurations, making them ideal for launching consistent, pre-configured environments. You can create custom images from existing VMs or disks, or use publicly available images provided by Google (like Ubuntu, CentOS, Windows Server).

Images are useful for scaling applications, setting up development/testing environments, or standardizing deployments across teams. Both snapshots and images support encryption, access control, and cross-project sharing for secure and flexible cloud operations.

In summary, Snapshots help with data backup and recovery, while Images enable consistent VM deployment. Together, they offer a powerful way to manage infrastructure reliability, scaling, and migration in GCP.
