Feature Request

What you would like to accomplish: Users would like to schedule yearly Persistent Disk snapshots.

How this might work: A policy such as yearlySchedule could be implemented in the API responsible for PD Snapshot schedules. This could be then implemented in gcloud and Cloud Console as valid options alongside the already present ones.

If applicable, reasons why alternative solutions are not sufficient: Currently, only hourly, daily or weekly snapshot schedules are valid.

However, users can work around this by using a scheduling option such as Cloud Scheduler or a cronjob which triggers a Cloud Function or a script that creates the desired snapshot. In order to implement the retentionPolicy users may resort to using storageLocations such as GCS Buckets with retention policies instead.
