Parameters include:
`indices`::
(Optional, array of strings)
Array of index names or wildcard pattern of index names
included in snapshots.
`ignore_unavailable`::

If `true`,
missing indices do *not* cause snapshot creation to fail

Defaults to `false`.
`include_global_state`::
(Optional, boolean)
If `true`,
cluster states are included in snapshots.
Defaults to `false`.
--
`retention`::

If the number of snapshots in the repository exceeds this limit,
the policy retains the most recent snapshots
and deletes older snapshots.

Minimum number of snapshots to retain,
even if the snapshots have expired.
