Including automated snapshots increases run time and cost. #38
Automated snapshots are parsed by the tool, even though only manual snapshots can be shared and copied. This results in unnecessary pagination and additional runtime, which leads to additional cost.
Root Cause
Calls to describe_db_cluster_snapshots are not filtered by snapshot type.
Proposed Solution
Modify snapshot pagination calls to only apply to manually-created snapshots via the SnapshotType parameter.
