Say, I created a droplet and installed plenty of software to it. When I take a shapshot of it and delete a droplet, the next time I want to re-create the same kind of server with the same environment and software installed, will snapshot help me do that and withing a short period of time? Say, it took me hours to setup and install all that, will it take me about 10 seconds to re-create a server from scratch with the snapshot?
