Lifecycle Policy for Snapshot and AMI PoC

Data Lifecycle Manager

Intro

In order to better manage the life cycle of the snapshots, we have test the Data LifeCycle Manager (DLM). This tool allows you to create and manage policies that can be applied to AMIs or Snapshots. A policy allows a set of rules to be applied to automate the creation and removal of Snaphsots or AMIs. It can also be used to copy them across different regions, which is not what we are interested in here.

To test the functionality we have created a policy for snapshots and another for AMIs. Here are the links to how to proceed :
