[50/100] #100DaysOfCloud Today, I created an EBS Snapshot Policy to automate the EBS Snapshot using Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager.
You can use Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to automate the creation, retention, and deletion of EBS snapshots and EBS-backed AMIs. When you automate snapshot and AMI management, it helps you to:
- Protect valuable data by enforcing a regular backup schedule.
- Create standardized AMIs that can be refreshed at regular intervals.
- Retain backups as required by auditors or internal compliance.
- Reduce storage costs by deleting outdated backups.
- Create disaster recovery backup policies that back up data to isolated accounts.
When combined with the monitoring features of Amazon CloudWatch Events and AWS CloudTrail, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager provides a complete backup solution for Amazon EC2 instances and individual EBS volumes at no additional cost.
You can try do it by yourself by following the steps from the link below: GitHub
