Copy RDS Snapshots Between AWS Accounts
Amazon announced the ability to share and copy RDS snapshots between AWS accounts. More information about the announcement can be seen here:
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/amazon-rds-update-cross-account-snapshot-sharing/
Copying your RDS snapshots can be a valuable tool:
- Make an extra copy of your data in another account to prevent complete data loss in the event of an account breach, as happened to Code Spaces.
- Copy your production data to a development account
We have added support for RDS snapshot sharing to Skeddly actions:
- Create RDS Snapshots - Once the RDS snapshot has been completed, it can be copied to another region and/or to another AWS account
- Copy RDS Snapshots - Copy your RDS snapshots between regions and/or between accounts
