Delete all other billing reports except the latest one. #6

Delete partial AWS Cost and Usage Report billing report at the end of the month. S3 put Event can be used to initiate deletion via Lambda.

@srajbr can you please elaborate?

@sagarkar10 AWS puts new billing files everyday, which makes the previous billing file useless, coz the newly uploaded file contains all the data from that previous file. We need a solution that deletes that previous file whenever a new file is uploaded. Traditional approach will be to use cron and check if a new file is uploaded and delete the previous files. Although AWS provides Lambda functions that can be triggered via an event. So in this case Lambda needs to delete those files and that it will be invoked via S3 PutObject Event.
