Various scripts to make AWS management easier.

Developed and tested (mainly) on Debian Wheezy with Bash 4.2 and Python 2.7:

# apt-get install python2.7 python-pip
# pip install awscli

$ aws --version
aws-cli/1.3.4 Python/2.7.3 Linux/3.2.0-4-amd64

Python script that connects to AWS, calculates a number of snaphosts availabe for each volume and sends a summary (a .csv file) via email.

The script can check multiple AWS accounts. You need to have AWS access and secret keys, plus your AWS account ID. Account ID is used by get_all_snapshots and get_all_images.

SMTP server details are required if you want to send emails.

The getFreeSnapshots function can be used to remove snapshots that have:

• no AMI and
• no existing volume.

This function is not called by default.
