This repo contains a terraform module that creates two lambda functions that will create AMI automatically at regular intervals. It is based on the code at https://serverlesscode.com/post/lambda-schedule-ebs-snapshot-backups/ and https://serverlesscode.com/post/lambda-schedule-ebs-snapshot-backups-2/.

Tip

👽 Use Atmos with Terraform

Cloud Posse uses atmos to easily orchestrate multiple environments using Terraform.
Works with Github Actions, Atlantis, or Spacelift.

Watch demo of using Atmos with Terraform

Example of running atmos to manage infrastructure from our Quick Start tutorial.

Include this repository as a module in your existing terraform code:

module "lambda_ami_backup" {
  source = "git::https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-ec2-ami-backup.git?ref=tags/0.3.2"

  name           = "${var.name}"
  stage          = "${var.stage}"
  namespace      = "${var.namespace}"
  region         = "${var.region}"
  ami_owner      = "${var.ami_owner}"
  instance_id    = "${var.instance_id}"
  retention_days = "14"
}

Example on excluding some of attached EBS volumes:

module "lambda_ami_backup" {
  source = "git::https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-ec2-ami-backup.git?ref=tags/0.3.2"

  name           = "${var.name}"
  stage          = "${var.stage}"
  namespace      = "${var.namespace}"
  region         = "${var.region}"
  ami_owner      = "${var.ami_owner}"
  instance_id    = "${var.instance_id}"
  retention_days = "14"

  block_device_mappings = [
    { "DeviceName" = "/dev/xvdf", "NoDevice" = "" },
    { "DeviceName" = "/dev/xvdg", "NoDevice" = "" },
  ]
}
