Managing shared resources like AMIs and snapshots between accounts can be complex and costly. The questions of 'What's in use and what isn't?' as well as 'What's safe to remove and what isn't?' are never-ending. Identifying what is stagnant is crucial to avoid unnecessary expenses and optimise cloud infrastructure. 

The Problem 

Shared AMIs and snapshots can quickly fill your environment and drive-up costs if not properly managed. It is a constant challenge to track which resources are still in use and which can be safely removed. 

Our Solution: Shared AMI and Snapshot Cleaner

Our Shared AMI and Snapshot Cleaner simplifies this process by: 

1. Targeting Source Accounts: Start by selecting the source account from which AMIs and snapshots are shared. 

2. Identifying Usage: The tool scans all shared resources, determining their usage in each destination account. 

3. Detecting Unused Resources: Identify and delete resources that are no longer in use. 

4. Generating Reports: Receive detailed reports on both active and inactive resources for informed decision-making. 

How it Works

The tool examines all shared AMIs and snapshots from the source account, identifying their usage status in each destination account. This ensures no resource is overlooked. Unused resources can then be deleted, freeing up storage and reducing costs. Comprehensive reports provide insights into your resource landscape and highlight areas for optimisation.
