Your snapshots, from newest to oldest. The list is not paginated: meta reflects the number returned.
with_memory indicates a snapshot taken while the machine was running: it includes the RAM, and restoring it brings the machine back up in the exact state it was in.
LWS takes its own snapshots for its internal backups: they are not listed, do not count toward your limit, and cannot be restored or deleted through the API.
