Managing Amazon EBS snapshots & AMIs with Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager
summary
Automates EBS snapshot and AMI lifecycle using Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager policies that target volumes or instances by tags, schedules creation and retention, and runs optional actions like cross‑region or cross‑account copies and fast snapshot restore. Example policy creates daily snapshot kept 7 days, weekly snapshot kept 4 weeks, and monthly snapshot copied to us-west-1 kept 12 months. Supports event‑based cross‑account encrypted copies using shared CMKs, AMI creation with automatic deregistration and underlying snapshot deletion after three months, plus CloudWatch metrics and AMI deprecation for monitoring.
