There doesnt appear to be a minimum charge for volume snapshots in AWS, but int DigitalOcean this is $0.01. Snapshot engine creates a substantial amount of volume snapshots so it makes sense to retire the snapshot warmer.
The snapshot warmer would continuously take a snapshot every 10 minutes (DO api timeout) to make sure that there was always the latest available for the next Tezos artifact generation job.
Now this PR gets rid of the snapshot warmer DP and instead has the snapshot maker job take a snapshot, create the pvc, then delete the snapshot so its only around for a short period of time.
