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 'cred=<string>'

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>
cred = <string>
}
}
