+# GOOGLE / Compute / Disk Old Snapshots
+
+## Quick Info
+
+| | |
+|-|-|
+| **Plugin Title** | Disk Old Snapshots |
+| **Cloud** | GOOGLE |
+| **Category** | Compute |
+| **Description** | Ensure that frequently used disks are created from images instead of snapshots to save networking cost. |
+| **More Info** | If you are repeatedly using a snapshot in the same zone to create a persistent disk, save networking costs by using the snapshot once and creating an image of that snapshot. Store this image and use it to create your disk and start a VM instance. |
+| **GOOGLE Link** | https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/snapshot-best-practices#prepare_for_consistency |
+| **Recommended Action** | Ensure that your disk snapshots have images created from them. |
+
+## Detailed Remediation Steps
+1. Log into the Google Cloud Platform Console.
+2. In the left navigation panel choose "Compute Engine" and then select the "Create an Image" option.
+3. Specify the Name of your image.
+4. Specify the Source from which you want to create an image by selecting a snapshot.
+5. In the Based on source disk location (default) drop-down list, specify the location to store the image. If you don't make a selection, Compute Engine stores the image in the multi-region closest to your image's source location.
+6. Optional: specify the properties for your image.
+7. Specify the encryption key. You can choose between a Google-managed key, a Cloud Key Management Service (Cloud KMS) key or a customer- supplied encryption (CSEK) key. If no encryption key is specified, images are encrypted using a Google-managed key.
+8. Click Create to create the image.
