Snapshot of Type

This bot identifies database and memcache instance snapshots to detemine whether they are manual or automatic. This distinction is important because, by default, only manual snapshots are retained when an instance is deleted.

Recommended Action

Customize this bot with a resource age filter to confirm that there are sufficiently recent manual snapshots for database and memcache instances. If not, add an action to provide notification or take automated action to create a manual snapshot.
