Cleanup your old unused ami and related snapshots

|Travis CI| |codecov.io| |pypi|

Maintenance note

----------------

This project is not under active maintenance but still active. 

Consider using the official AWS-supported `Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager

`__.

Description

-----------

This tool enables you to clean your custom `Amazon Machine Images (AMI)

`__ and

related `EBS Snapshots

`__.

You can either run in ``fetch and clean`` mode where the tool will

retrieve all your private **AMIs** and EC2 instances, exclude AMIs being

holded by your EC2 instances (it can be useful if you use autoscaling,

and so on ...). It applies a filter based on their **names** or **tags**

and a number of **previous AMIs** you want to keep. You can also check and

delete EBS snapshots left orphaned by manual deletion of AMIs.

It can simply remove AMIs with a list of provided ids.

Prerequisites

-------------

-  `awscli `__

-  `python 2.7 or 3+`

-  `python pip `__

This tool assumes your AWS credentials are in your environment, either with AWS

credentials variables :

.. code:: bash

    export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION='your region'

    export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='with token Access ID'

    export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='with token AWS Secret'

or with ``awscli`` :

.. code:: bash

    export AWS_PROFILE=profile-name

Minimum AWS IAM permissions

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To run the script properly, your ``aws`` user must have at least these

permissions in ``iam``:

.. code:: json

    {

        "Version": "2012-10-17",

        "Statement": [

            {

                "Sid": "Stmt1458638250000",

                "Effect": "Allow",

                "Action": [

                    "ec2:DeleteSnapshot",

                    "ec2:DeregisterImage",

                    "ec2:DescribeImages",

                    "ec2:DescribeInstances",

                    "ec2:DescribeSnapshots",

                    "autoscaling:DescribeAutoScalingGroups",

                    "autoscaling:DescribeLaunchConfigurations"

                ],

                "Resource": [

                    "*"

                ]

            }

        ]

    }
