Azure Snapshots need to be discovered with options to manage via Turbonomic (delete).

Currently, Turbonomic does not have any visibility into snapshots.  Snapshots cost money to end users, just like any cloud volume.  A lot of times snapshots can be abandonded and forgotten, slowly costing the company money with minimal tools to capture and delete.  Snapshot age is something already tracked in Azure, so getting the snapshot and snapshot age via your Azure API should be fairly straightforward.  They are objects, like disks (volumes) and VMs that reside inside a resource group.  

Snapshots should be discoverable by Turbonomic, with automation capable around deleting them (auto delete if older than X days, etc.).  Snapshot data in azure includes the source disk information.  If the source disk is no longer visible to Turbonomic and the snapshot is older than a set period, the removing the snapshot would be recommended.
