- the Nth snapshot, counting from 1
- e.g., prod#42
environmentName~N
- the Nth snapshot behind the latest, at the time of the request
- e.g., prod~5
environmentName@{YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS}
- the snapshot at specific moment in time in UTC
- e.g., prod@{2023-10-02T12:00:00}
environmentName@{N.hours|days|weeks|months.ago}
- the snapshot at a time relative to the time of the request
- e.g., prod@{2.hours.ago}
