Abstract
Aspects relate to a framework for utilizing a single API request to manage the creation of consistent snapshots for a set of volumes attached an individual instance in a distributed computing environment. Responsive to receipt of an API request identifying the instance, the multi-volume snapshot service identifies a set of volumes attached to the identified instance. The identified set of volumes can be processed or filtered to eliminate specific volumes or types of volumes, such as boot volumes. In the event that any snapshot creation attempt fails, the multi-volume snapshot service fails the API request and can delete any snapshot data generated prior to the failure.
