The Snapshot algorithm is a technique used in distributed computing to capture a consistent snapshot of the state of a distributed system. Such a snapshot represents the state of all components in the system at a specific point in time, allowing for consistent state evaluation, debugging, checkpointing, and recovery. ### Key Features of the Snapshot Algorithm: 1. **Consistency**: The primary goal is to ensure that the snapshot reflects a consistent view of the distributed system.
