Lifecycle Manager using lifecycle policy for EBS Snapshots based on tag

Snapshot policy

This module provides a snapshot backup policy that will applied to all volumes with the "backup: true" tag

Mechanism

Pre-requisites

All EC2 instances created with terraform should include the tag "backup: true"

Limitations

This iteration does not include the facility to have more than one backup schedule. This could be implemented by changing the tag requirements to "backup: 12", for example, and calling the module once for each backup period required, and including the period in the names of all resource names.

Example usage

In your Terrafom, call the module with the required variables.

module "ebs_volume_backups" {
    source                      = "git::ssh://[email protected]/osodevops/aws-terraform-module-s3.git/aws-terraform-module-ebs-volume-snapshots"
    snapshot_interval           = "24"
    snapshot_time               = "01:00"
    snapshot_number_retained    = "30"
    snapshot_tag                = "Backup"
}
