DynamoDB backup support #14

Open vitorrm opened 6 years ago

vitorrm commented 6 years ago

Hi,

I am new to AWS Ops Automator. I am still trying to decide whether to use it or not.

I know that it has the capability to create EBS snapshots, but does it has some template to trigger DynamoDB backups?

If it does not have, I read in the FAQ section that we are able to create new actions, but how do I do that? Do you have some tips or examples of how I should do it?

Best regards,

Vitor

Hi Vitor,

Our upcoming V2 release will have support for managing DynamoDB backups, as well as RDS backups.

regards, Arie

Great,

Any idea of approximately when the V2 release will be released?

Also curious if there is a rough timeframe for V2? Trying to gauge whether it is worth the development effort to build out RDS backups myself using the framework.

Hi Andrew We do not have a fixed date for the release, but we hope to a a version out by the end of the year. Possibly there will be another preview for testing in non production environments before then.

Regarding RDS, at this very moment we are running tests for a set of actions to create, copy and delete RDS snapshots, with features to set dynamic names, descriptions and tags, delete tags on the source instances and snapshots as well as the created and copied snapshots, sharing of the copied and created snapshots between accounts, deletion based on retention count or days and encryption using custom kms keys. We try to keep the functionality on par with the new actions for EBS snapshots and AMI'S that also will have the same features.

We also added new tag based events to trigger tasks leveraging the new tag events that were announced two weeks ago.

The best thing is that account operation will not longer need the copy/paste of cross-account role arn's. External roles are setup using a single stack wit UI, Stack sets or custon Cloudformation resources. Instead of arn's you can simply use account numbers.

Hope this is worth the wait.
