Question - How can you automate EC2 backup using EBS?
Answer -
Use the following steps in order to automate EC2 backup using EBS:
- Get the list of instances and connect to AWS through API to list the Amazon EBS volumes that are attached locally to the instance.
- List the snapshots of each volume, and assign a retention period of the snapshot. Later on, create a snapshot of each volume.
- Make sure to remove the snapshot if it is older than the retention period.
