Terraform module - creates ups data life-cycle management to automate ebs backups.

It's 100% Open Source and licensed under theAPACHE2.

Include this repository as a module in your existing terraform code:

module"dlmautowsnapshot" {source="JamesWoolfenden/dlmautowsnapshot/aws"version="0.2.9"common_tags=var.common_tagssnapshot_name=local.snapshot_namecron_expression=var.cron_expressionregions=var.regions}

The management of EC2 backup has become simpler With the new release of Data Lifecycle Manager (DLM) policieshttps://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/snapshot-lifecycle.html.There is no more need for a Lambdas to manage EBS snapshots, and additionally with the new release of support for DLM in Terraformhttps://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/r/dlm_lifecycle_policy.html it can achieved easily.

The example - exampleA shows how to implement a DLM policy on EBS snapshots.As before you include a reference to the module in your code.

In the example the variable schedule is an extensible list of maps.

schedule = [{name = "2 weeks of daily snapshots"create_rule=[{interval      = 24interval_unit = "HOURS"times         = ["23:45"]}]retain_rule=[{count = 14}]tags_to_add {SnapshotCreator = "DLM"}copy_tags = false}]

That's all for now.
