Shared Ami and Snapshot Cleaner

With the existence of shared AMI’s and snapshots between accounts comes the rising issue of whats in use and what isn’t? Whats safe to remove and what isn’t? Aswell as the associated rising costs of all stagnant resources.

With the new release of the Shared AMI & Snapshot Cleaner we aim to tackle this issue. This tool allows us to target a source account and identify all AMI’s and snapshots shared from this account and identify for each destination account whether there shared resources are in use and if so, where. Resources that are no longer in use in the shared accounts are then able to be deleted. Lastly, a series of reports is also generated detailing information about both resources in use and not in use for further investigation.

For usage details check out the repository for a walkthrough.
