        enum:
          - Full
          - Diff
        description:
          Type of snapshot to create. It is optional and by default, a full
          snapshot is created.

  SnapshotLoadParams:
    type: object
    description:
      Defines the configuration used for handling snapshot resume. Exactly one of
      the two `mem_*` fields must be present in the body of the request.
    required:
      - snapshot_path
    properties:
      enable_diff_snapshots:
        type: boolean
        description:
          Enable support for incremental (diff) snapshots by tracking dirty guest pages.
      mem_file_path:
        type: string
        description:
          Path to the file that contains the guest memory to be loaded.
          It is only allowed if `mem_backend` is not present. This parameter has
          been deprecated and it will be removed in future Firecracker release.
      mem_backend:
        $ref: "#/definitions/MemoryBackend"
        description:
          Configuration for the backend that handles memory load. If this field
          is specified, `mem_file_path` is forbidden. Either `mem_backend` or
          `mem_file_path` must be present at a time.
      snapshot_path:
        type: string
        description: Path to the file that contains the microVM state to be loaded.
      resume_vm:
        type: boolean
        description:
          When set to true, the vm is also resumed if the snapshot load is successful.

  TokenBucket:
    type: object
    description:
      Defines a token bucket with a maximum capacity (size), an initial burst size
      (one_time_burst) and an interval for refilling purposes (refill_time).
      The refill-rate is derived from size and refill_time, and it is the constant
      rate at which the tokens replenish. The refill process only starts happening after
      the initial burst budget is consumed.
      Consumption from the token bucket is unbounded in speed which allows for bursts
      bound in size by the amount of tokens available.
      Once the token bucket is empty, consumption speed is bound by the refill_rate.
    required:
      - refill_time
      - size
    properties:
      one_time_burst:
        type: integer
        format: int64
        description: The initial size of a token bucket.
        minimum: 0
      refill_time:
        type: integer
        format: int64
        description: The amount of milliseconds it takes for the bucket to refill.
        minimum: 0
      size:
        type: integer
        format: int64
        description: The total number of tokens this bucket can hold.
        minimum: 0

  Vm:
    type: object
    description:
      Defines the microVM running state. It is especially useful in the snapshotting context.
    required:
      - state
    properties:
      state:
        type: string
        enum:
          - Paused
          - Resumed

  EntropyDevice:
    type: object
    description:
      Defines an entropy device.
    properties:
      rate_limiter:
        $ref: "#/definitions/RateLimiter"

  FirecrackerVersion:
    type: object
    description:
      Describes the Firecracker version.
    required:
      - firecracker_version
    properties:
      firecracker_version:
        description: Firecracker build version.
        type: string

  Vsock:
    type: object
    description:
      Defines a vsock device, backed by a set of Unix Domain Sockets, on the host side.
      For host-initiated connections, Firecracker will be listening on the Unix socket
      identified by the path `uds_path`. Firecracker will create this socket, bind and
      listen on it. Host-initiated connections will be performed by connection to this
      socket and issuing a connection forwarding request to the desired guest-side vsock
      port (i.e. `CONNECT 52\n`, to connect to port 52).
      For guest-initiated connections, Firecracker will expect host software to be
      bound and listening on Unix sockets at `uds_path_<PORT>`.
      E.g. "/path/to/host_vsock.sock_52" for port number 52.
    required:
      - guest_cid
      - uds_path
    properties:
      guest_cid:
        type: integer
        minimum: 3
        description: Guest Vsock CID
      uds_path:
        type: string
        description: Path to UNIX domain socket, used to proxy vsock connections.
      vsock_id:
        type: string
        description:
          This parameter has been deprecated and it will be removed in future
          Firecracker release.
