+module: gcp_compute_snapshot
+description:
+- Represents a Persistent Disk Snapshot resource.
+- Use snapshots to back up data from your persistent disks. Snapshots are different
+  from public images and custom images, which are used primarily to create instances
+  or configure instance templates. Snapshots are useful for periodic backup of the
+  data on your persistent disks. You can create snapshots from persistent disks even
+  while they are attached to running instances.
+- Snapshots are incremental, so you can create regular snapshots on a persistent disk
+  faster and at a much lower cost than if you regularly created a full image of the
+  disk.
