Snapshots

Snapshots, a key feature of Amazon Web Services, offer a reliable method for backing up the state of instances.

However, it's essential to understand that snapshots older than 90 days can lead to unnecessary costs.

We operate under the assumption that snapshots from the past, especially those older than 90 days, are typically no longer relevant.

Consequently, regular review and clean-up of these older snapshots are vital for efficient and cost-effective resource management in AWS environments.
