This repo contains two NodeJS lambda functions used to schedule snapshots of tagged EBS volumes and delete snapshots that are older than their expiry date.

Configure Terraform to point to your desired AWS Account.

Run terraform plan && terraform apply in the /terraform directory. This will setup CloudWatch Scheduled Events, Targets, and Roles for running the Lambda functions.

5. Submit a pull request :D

v1.0 - Basic implementation

• Allow configurable backup schedule
  • CloudWatch Scheduled Event will still run hourly, but will only back up based on Tag { "Backup":"hourly/daily/monthly" }.
• Set { "Snapshot_Retention":"<time (in hours)>" } on EBS Volume and persist to Retention tag on Snapshot.

• Shoutout to @steve-Jansen for always pushing me to be better.
