[SOLVED] AWS EC2 - Automatic AMI

Issue

I have a AWS EC2 instance That i need to manually access to the AWS console and make a daily image of the machine(AMI)

How i can make a daily AMI backup of the machine and delete old version (old then 7 days)?

Thank you!

Solution

Anything that you can do through the web console you can also do through the CLI.

In this particular case, I suspect a combination of aws ec2 create-image, aws ec2 describe-images, and aws ec2 deregister-image would let you do what you want.
