Hi ,  
The ansible has a module to take volume snapshot for Openstack:

- name: create snapshot  
hosts: all  
tasks:
- name: create snapshot  
os\_volume\_snapshot:  
state: present  
cloud: test  
availability\_zone: nova  
display\_name: test\_snapshot  
volume: test\_volume

My requirement is to take only Image snapshot as my Openstack is associated with External NFS, so i need to take only image snapshot.

Is there any module to take image snapsnot rather than Volume snapshot.  
Any help will be appreciated.
