Feature request - Restore snapshot to new Database via Atlas

What problem are you trying to solve?

Focus on the what and why of the need you have, not the how you'd like it solved.

When testing restore procedures, we need to restore a snapshot to a new cluster. In order to so, one must create a cluster first with the same config than the source cluster. The restore only suceeds when the configs match. This is a very cumbersome process.

What would you like to see happen?

Describe the desired outcome or enhancement.

Restore a snapshot to a new cluster with the same config as the source cluster, with one click/API call

Why is this important to you or your team?

Explain how the request adds value or solves a business need.

It would greatly reduce our efforts of restore testing.

What steps, if any, are you taking today to manage this problem?
