)

Arguments

`Description`	A description for the snapshot.
`OutpostArn`	The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Outpost on which to create a local snapshot. To create a snapshot of a volume in a Region, omit this parameter. The snapshot is created in the same Region as the volume. To create a snapshot of a volume on an Outpost and store the snapshot in the Region, omit this parameter. The snapshot is created in the Region for the Outpost. To create a snapshot of a volume on an Outpost and store the snapshot on an Outpost, specify the ARN of the destination Outpost. The snapshot must be created on the same Outpost as the volume. For more information, see Create local snapshots from volumes on an Outpost in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.
`VolumeId`	[required] The ID of the Amazon EBS volume.
`TagSpecifications`	The tags to apply to the snapshot during creation.
