Question

Lab Simulation 5 Instructions. If your AWS Management Console browser does not show that you are logged in to an AWS account, close the browser and relaunch the console by using the AWS Management Console shortcut from the VM desktop. If the copy-paste functionality is not working in your environment, refer to the instructions file on the VM desktop and use Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V or Command-C, Command-V. Create a solution to automate Amazon EBS Volume snapshots using Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager. 1. Use the us-east-2 Region for all resources. 2. Unless specified below, use the default configuration settings. 3. Create a snapshot of the existing EBS Volume named OriginalVolume. 4. Create a 1 GB EBS Volume from the snapshot with default encryption. 5. Add the tag Snapshot: true to the new EBS Volume. 6. Ensure that snapshots of all volumes with the tag Snapshot:true are taken every 6 hours and retained for 90 days. Do NOT use a cron expression. Ensure this is the only lifecycle policy that exists. Use the IAM role named DLMRole. Important: Click the Next button to complete this lab and continue to the next lab. Once you click the Next button, you will NOT be able to return to this lab.
