# rds_snapshot_restore
Restoring and deleting snapshots to new rds instance for ad hoc development db
with (nearly) live data
Picks automatically the most recent snapshot from specified rds-instance to
restore this snapshot to a new instance. Either choose name on execution or configure
for easier access.
When done with work, easily delete the rds-instance again with one command.
To prevent errors the tool prompts before every execution for confirmation!
## Requirements
- boto3 https://github.com/boto/boto3
- configured aws cli https://aws.amazon.com/cli/
## Configuration
Configuration lies in `~/.rds_shapshoot_restore/config` and looks like the following
snippet (defaults):
[DEFAULT]
db_instance_class = db.t2.medium
db_identifier_instance = test-db-automated
db_identifier_filter = None
automated_only = True
Meaning:
- `db_instance_class` instance class for the new rds instance to restore to, see
[https://docs.aws.amazon.com//cli/latest/reference/rds/restore-db-instance-from-db-snapshot.html#options]
- `db_identifier_instance` name of the instance
- `db_identifier_filter` filter for snapshots of instances (optional)
- `automated_only` filter for automated snapshots only
