Snapshot volume? com.apple.os.update-xxxxxx in Disk Utility

I installed Big Sur today. In the disk utility I see now a new volume.

Macintosh HD

com.apple.os.update-779BDF1556C6F688504E24FB29C75AFFABFCB91E701806FFFF35235E19914F1E

Is this a renaming bug and should it have another name? Or is it a left over from upgrading

Same here and I did a clean instal erasing the APFS group. Well apparently it's normal. Something to do with securing system files from malware... https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/11/macos-11-0-big-sur-the-ars-technica-review/11/
