as-apply-alarms was created to easily apply alarms to anywhere from one to a number of Amazon Auto Scaling Groups. The tool applies alarms for CPU Utilization. as-apply-alarms will run "out of the box" however the intent is rather to provide a template (and the logic) for managing multiple Auto Scaling Group's alarms. as-apply-alarms was created to easily apply alarms to anywhere from one to a number of Amazon Auto Scaling Groups.

ec2-automate-backup requires one of the following two parameters be provided: ec2-automate-backup requires one of the following two parameters be provided:
`-v <volumeid>` - the "volumeid" parameter is required to select EBS volumes for snapshot if ec2-automate-backup is run using the "volumeid" selection method - the "volumeid" selection method is the default selection method. `-v <volumeid>` - the "volumeid" parameter is required to select EBS volumes for snapshot if ec2-automate-backup is run using the "volumeid" selection method - the "volumeid" selection method is the default selection method.
`-t <tag>` - the "tag" parameter is required if the "method" of selecting EBS volumes for snapshot is by tag (-s tag). The format for tag is key=value (example: Backup=true) and the correct method for running ec2-automate-backup in this manner is ec2-automate-backup -s tag -t Backup=true. `-t <tag>` - the "tag" parameter is required if the "method" of selecting EBS volumes for snapshot is by tag (-s tag).

## Optional Parameters: ## Optional Parameters:
`-r <region>` - the region that contains the EBS volumes for which you wish to have a snapshot created. `-r <region>` - the region that contains the EBS volumes for which you wish to have a snapshot created.
`-s <selection_method>` - the selection method by which EBS volumes will be selected. Currently supported selection methods are "volumeid" and "tag." The selection method "volumeid" identifies EBS volumes for which a snapshot should be taken by volume id whereas the selection method "tag" identifies EBS volumes for which a snapshot should be taken by a key=value format tag. `-s <selection_method>` - the selection method by which EBS volumes will be selected.

The selection method "volumeid" identifies EBS volumes for which a snapshot should be taken by volume id whereas the selection method "tag" identifies EBS volumes for which a snapshot should be taken by a key=value format tag.
`-c <cron_primer_file>` - running with the -c option and a providing a file will cause ec2-automate-backup to source a file for environmental configuration - ideal for running ec2-automate-backup under cron. An example cron primer file is located in the "Resources" directory and is called cron-primer.sh. `-c <cron_primer_file>` - running with the -c option and a providing a file will cause ec2-automate-backup to source a file for environmental configuration - ideal for running ec2-automate-backup under cron.

`-n` - tag snapshots "Name" tag as well as description `-n` - tag snapshots "Name" tag as well as description
`-k <purge_after_days>` - the period after which a snapshot can be purged. For example, running "ec2-automate-backup.sh -v "vol-6d6a0527 vol-636a0112" -k 31" would allow snapshots to be removed after 31 days. purge_after_days creates two tags for each volume that was backed up - a PurgeAllow tag which is set to PurgeAllow=true and a PurgeAfter tag which is set to the present day (in UTC) + the value provided by -k. `-k <purge_after_days>` - the period after which a snapshot can be purged.

`-p` - the -p flag will purge (meaning delete) all snapshots that were created more than "purge after days" ago. ec2-automate-backup looks at two tags to determine which snapshots should be deleted - the PurgeAllow and PurgeAfter tags. The tags must be set as follows: PurgeAllow=true and PurgeAfter=YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY-MM-DD must be before the present date. `-p` - the -p flag will purge (meaning delete) all snapshots that were created more than "purge after days" ago. ec2-automate-backup looks at two tags to determine which snapshots should be deleted - the PurgeAllow and PurgeAfter tags.
