Elastic Desktop Service:ApplyAutoSnapshotPolicy

Last Updated:Nov 14, 2025

Apply an automatic snapshot policy to cloud computers. After the automatic snapshot policy is applied to the cloud computers, Elastic Desktop Service automatically creates snapshots for the cloud computers based on the time specified in the automatic snapshot policy.

Operation description

You can also associate an automatic snapshot policy with a cloud desktop in the Elastic Desktop Service (EDS) console. To do so, perform the following steps: 1. Log on to the EDS console. 2. Choose Desktops and Groups > Desktops in the left-side navigation pane. 3. Find the cloud desktop that you want to manage on the Cloud Desktops page and choose More > Change Automatic Snapshot Policy in the Actions column. 4. Configure a policy for the cloud desktop as prompted in the Change Automatic Snapshot Policy panel.

After you associate an automatic snapshot policy with the cloud desktop, the system creates snapshots for the cloud desktop based on the policy.

Debugging

You can run this interface directly in OpenAPI Explorer, saving you the trouble of calculating signatures. After running successfully, OpenAPI Explorer can automatically generate SDK code samples.
