Snapshot Tool for Amazon DOCDB

The Snapshot Tool for DOCDB automates the task of creating manual snapshots, copying them into a different account and a different region, and deleting them after a specified number of days. It also allows you to specify the backup schedule (at what times and how often) and a retention period in days.

How to use on Terragrunt

1. Create a copy of terraform/_modules/docdb-snapshot_tool folder inside your project directory.
2. Create a copy of terraform/env folder inside your project directory.
3. Edit terraform/env/env.hcl file so that it matches your configuration.
4. Inside terraform/env/env.hcl file specify cloudformation template (inside docdb_snapshot_tools/cftemplates folder) that best fits your needs.

How to select the right CloudFormation Template

Inside terraform/env/env.hcl file specify cloudformation template (inside docdb_snapshot_tools/cftemplates folder) that best fits your needs.
Possibilities are:

• snapshot_tool_docdb.json: provides take, copy and delete methods
• snapshot_tool_docdb_copy_and_delete.json: provides only copy and delete methods

To Be Implemented

Create new template that enables delete of old snapshot in both regions.
