RAM Snapshots in oVirt
summary
Describes oVirt's live snapshot feature for KVM-based virtual machines, specifically the oVirt 3.3 enhancement that adds VM RAM (memory) state to snapshots in addition to disk state. Covers oVirt architecture and live-snapshot design, the technical process for creating and restoring memory-inclusive live snapshots, and how to perform basic and advanced snapshot operations via the oVirt UI and REST API.
