# Lambda Function for Creating AMIs using EventBridge Schedule
This CloudFormation template deploys a Lambda function that creates Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) based on a schedule defined in Amazon EventBridge. This can be useful for automated backups or snapshotting of EC2 instances.
## Supported parameters:
`createAmisAt`: cron schedule to create AMIs, by default at midnight. More: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-cron-expressions.html
`createAmisLambdaTimeout`: If you have lots of ec2 instances - it requires to adjust this parameter
`deleteOldAmisAt`: cron schedule to delete old AMIs, by default at 2AM. More: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-cron-expressions.html
`keepAmis`: How much AMIs you'd like to keep, 3 by default
`rotateAmisLambdaTimeout`: If you have lots of AMIs - it requires to adjust this parameter
## Deployment Steps
### Using AWS CLI
1. **Prerequisites**: Ensure you have AWS CLI installed and configured with the necessary permissions.
2. **Clone the Repository**: Clone this GitHub repository to your local machine.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/RealArtemiy/ami-scheduler.git
```
3. **Navigate to Template Directory**: Enter into the directory containing your CloudFormation template.
```bash
cd ami-scheduler
```
4. **Deploy Stack**: Use the AWS CLI to deploy the CloudFormation stack. Replace `` with your desired stack name.
```bash
aws cloudformation create-stack --stack-name --template-body file://cloudformation.yml --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM
```
5. **Monitor Deployment**: Monitor the stack creation process either via the AWS Management Console or using the AWS CLI.
```bash
aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name --query "Stacks[0].StackStatus"
```
### Using AWS Management Console (UI)
1. **Sign in to AWS Console**: Sign in to your AWS Management Console.
2. **Navigate to CloudFormation**: Go to the CloudFormation service.
3. **Create Stack**: Click on "Create stack" and choose "With new resources (standard)".
4. **Upload Template**: Upload the CloudFormation template file (`cloudfomation.yml`).
5. **Specify Stack Details**: Provide a stack name and any necessary parameters.
6. **Configure Stack Options**: Configure stack options as needed, then proceed to create the stack.
7. **Monitor Deployment**: Monitor the stack creation process in the CloudFormation dashboard.
