AWS EBS - Snapshot copies to another region(s) about shelvery-aws-backups HOT 6 OPEN

@Guslington thanks for response! I added it to fork. Also, I fixed couple of issues in CloudFormation template. Can you, please, review https://github.com/zagaria/shelvery-aws-backups/commits/patch/handling_copies ?

And what the better approach/design for solve it in right way? I want to contribute but need to understand this software utility approach.

@Guslington, @rererecursive please review when you have a time. Thanks!

@zagaria thanks for raising this. It is a known issue at the moment and is currently in our backlog to resolve.

simplest approach would be to handle the exception inside copy_backup_to_region method and push a retry message to sqs.

@zagaria What i think would be the best approach would be to have a try catch around the create_snapshot call and looking for the SnapshotCreationPerVolumeRateExceeded exception. then from there you could post a message to sqs for that resource using the ShelveryQueue class and setting a variable delay time on the message.

With the cloudformation changes i would like to keep the resource names

And just wondering what you're using the condition for?

Why do you need the s3 bucket and path in the function uri?

Are you using the sam build/package/deploy commands? As sam populates these fields behind the scenes when using those commands.

@Guslington thanks for answer!

Condition only for keep template status when used web console and need to full recreate all resources. For me it's comfortably, nothing special)

S3 bucket and path used for different version and easy switch. Not used sam commands.

About create snapshots/copies - so it's possible to add try/catch to https://github.com/base2Services/shelvery-aws-backups/blob/develop/shelvery/ebs_backup.py inside necessary functions? Is it correct?

from shelvery-aws-backups.

@zagaria correct, you could catch the exception from the ebs_backup class but the issue will be sending the payload off to sqs with correct payload.

in which case it maybe be easier to catch the exception from the engine class
