Explanation
Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (DLM) is the AWS service specifically designed to automate the creation, retention, and deletion of EBS snapshots. With DLM, you can: - Automatically create snapshots on a recurring schedule (e.g., daily, hourly). - Retain snapshots for a specific number of days. - Delete old snapshots automatically to save costs. - Ensure consistent and automated backups without manual intervention. This approach fully meets the company’s requirement for a backup strategy for the EBS volume.
