AWS Lambda Function to Delete AMIs and Snapshots
# Automated AMI and Snapshot Deletion
#
# @author Bobby Kozora
#
# This script will search for all instances having a tag named "Backup" with a value of "Backup".
# As soon as we have the instances list, we loop through each instance
# and reference the AMIs of that instance. We check that the latest daily backup
# succeeded then we store every image that's reached its DeleteOn tag's date for
# deletion. We then loop through the AMIs, deregister them and remove all the
# snapshots associated with that AMI.

AWS Lambda AMI Backups
# Automated AMI Backups
#
# @author Bobby Kozora
#
# This script will search for all instances having a tag with the name "backup"
# and value "Backup" on it. As soon as we have the instances list, we loop
# through each instance
# and create an AMI of it. Also, it will look for a "Retention" tag key which
# will be used as a retention policy number in days. If there is no tag with
# that name, it will use a 7 days default value for each AMI.
