Overview:

You can use Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager to automate the creation, retention, and deletion of EBS snapshots and EBS-backed AMIs. When you automate snapshot and AMI management, it helps you to:

• Protect valuable data by enforcing a regular backup schedule.
• Create standardized AMIs that can be refreshed at regular intervals.
• Retain backups as required by auditors or internal compliance.
• Reduce storage costs by deleting outdated backups.
• Create disaster recovery backup policies that back up data to isolated accounts.

When combined with the monitoring features of Amazon CloudWatch Events and AWS CloudTrail, Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager provides a complete backup solution for Amazon EC2 instances and individual EBS volumes at no additional cost.
