Hey Eben, dumping my thoughts on inline snapshot info here.
I think if we’re going to show live info on in-progress snapshots, then it should follow the activity state indicator we use for other event types...
The first line of copy on each server is meant to reflect the current state. Running / Updating / Offline, etc. I’d like to incorporate the Snapshotting info into that space.
Is there a way of we could set ‘snapshotting’ as a status/class on the server, so the status and content within can change?
In terms of showing the state of multiple snapshots, I’d rather avoid listing all active snaps, and instead focus on a summary as to the most recent snapshot.
Slack is unsure of whether AWS allows concurrent snapshotting on an individual server, it may queue or return errors. He’s not sure.
^ So something like this is what I’m thinking for the inline snapshot info.
