3 steps inputs: availabilityZone, description, snapshotId, sourceVolumeId outputs: cloneVolumeId
1
snapshotSource

  title: Amazon EBS Clone Volume via Snapshot
  summary: Snapshot a source volume, confirm it, then create a clone volume from it.
  description: >-
    This workflow adapts the requested snapshot-then-block pattern to the
    EC2-style operations the spec actually supports, producing a clone of an
    existing volume. It snapshots the source volume, describes snapshots to
    confirm the new snapshot is visible, and creates a new volume from that
    snapshot in the requested Availability Zone. Every step spells out its
    request inline so the flow can be read and executed without opening the
    underlying OpenAPI description.

          The ID of the snapshot produced from the source volume. The
