Automatically create snapshots for your AWS EBS volumes

EBS Snapshot Automation

Installation

composer require codebridge/ebs-snapshot-automation

Setup

copy .env.example to .env and edit with your own AWS credentials, _(*1)

Login to the AWS console and tag the volumes you want to snapshot with the proper tags. You can tag a volume for scheduling by tagging it with "Key" "schedule" and a "Value" which is a valid CRON expression, like 0 23 * * *., _(*2)

Usage

php ebs-php volumes:list (see all your volumes)
php ebs-php volumes:list --cache (save your volumes locally for snapshotting)
php ebs-php volumes:list --show-cached (show all volumes in the local cache)
php ebs-php scheduler:run (check if there are any commands that need to be ran right now and execute them)

CRON jobs

Check for volumes to snapshot every minute
