Pipeline: Correct one EBS snapshot exceeding max age

Overview

EBS snapshots can be quite costly to retain, it is also likely that after a certain point in time they're no longer required and should be cleaned up to prevent further costs.

This pipeline allows you to specify a single EBS snapshot and then either send a notification or attempt to perform a predefined corrective action.

Whilst it is possible to utilise this pipeline standalone, it is usually called from the correct_ebs_snapshots_exceeding_max_age pipeline.

Run the pipeline

To run this pipeline from your terminal:

flowpipe pipeline run aws_thrifty.pipeline.correct_one_ebs_snapshot_exceeding_max_age \
  --arg 'title=<string>' \
  --arg 'snapshot_id=<string>' \
  --arg 'region=<string>' \
  --arg 'conn=<connection.aws>'

Use this pipeline

To call this pipeline from your pipeline, use a step:

step "pipeline" "step_name" {
  pipeline = aws_thrifty.pipeline.correct_one_ebs_snapshot_exceeding_max_age  
  args = {
    title = <string>
    snapshot_id = <string>
    region = <string>
    conn = <connection.aws>
  }
}
