Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

AWS EC2 Snapshot Management is a php script which prunes EC2 snapshots as if they were backups. It's meant to be run from the command line, but can be called by other PHP scripts if you so desire. As well as cleaning up snapshots it can also be used to take new snapshots as well.

The cleanup function will keep snapshots made:

- Daily: In the last seven days.
- Weekly: One per week in the last month.
- Monthly: One per month.

*It will always keep at least one snapshot even if it was made a year ago.*

This script took inspiration from 'EC2 Manage Snapshots' made by Erik Dasque and previously Oren Solomianik. It however requires the AWS PHP SDK.

This script is provided under the MIT License.
