`repository`::

(Required, object)
Configuration for each snapshot
created by the policy.
Parameters include:
`indices`::
(Optional, array of strings)
Array of index names or wildcard pattern of index names
included in snapshots.
`ignore_unavailable`::
(Optional, boolean)
If `true`,
missing indices do *not* cause snapshot creation to fail
and return an error.
Defaults to `false`.
`include_global_state`::
(Optional, boolean)
If `true`,
cluster states are included in snapshots.
Defaults to `false`.
--
`retention`::
+

a snapshot is considered expired
and eligible for deletion.
`max_count`::
(Optional, integer)
Maximum number of snapshots to retain,

If the number of snapshots in the repository exceeds this limit,
the policy retains the most recent snapshots
and deletes older snapshots.
`min_count`::
(Optional, integer)
Minimum number of snapshots to retain,
even if the snapshots have expired.
