AWS EC2 Lifecycle Manager (DLM) - Automate EC2 Backups & EBS Snapshots | My Personal Experience

In this video, I share my experience with AWS EC2 Data Lifecycle Manager (DLM) — a powerful tool that automates the backup and retention of EC2 instances and EBS volumes. I’ll walk you through how I used DLM to eliminate the need for manual backup processes and simplify my workflow in AWS.

You'll learn:

What AWS DLM is and how it can automate your backup processes.
How I solved common backup issues using DLM and how it made my life easier.
The basic configuration steps to get started with AWS DLM for EC2 backups.
A step-by-step walkthrough of how to set up DLM, configure schedules, and define retention policies.

Why use AWS DLM?
AWS Data Lifecycle Manager provides an easy way to automate EBS volume snapshots and EC2 instance AMIs, all without the need for third-party tools. It’s a cost-effective and straightforward way to manage backups and ensure you’re not holding onto outdated snapshots that can drain your resources.

Bonus: I’ve written a detailed blog post on Medium about my personal experience with AWS DLM. Be sure to check it out for more in-depth insights and tips on setting up AWS DLM in your own AWS environment.
