You want to automate daily backups of EBS volumes for multiple EC2 instances. How would you design this using snapshots?

Question

Lingesh Kumar K · Accepted Answer

Go to EC2 Console → Lifecycle Manager. Create a Snapshot Lifecycle Policy. Select Resource type = Volume. Use Tags to identify the EBS volumes you want backed up (e.g., Backup=true). Define schedule (e.g., every 24 hours). Set retention rules (e.g., keep last 7 snapshots). Policy automatically creates and deletes snapshots daily.
