A Python script that deletes AWS EBS Volumes in the available state (unused)
At least Python 3.6 is needed
Currently the script filters the Volumes to be deleted based on:
-
The state ('available')
-
The last detach event history
Currently, we need to put the credentials in the script (Temporarly, will be modified later)
self.region = 'us-east-1'
self.access_key = '*****'
self.secret_key = '*****'python3.6 aws_disks.pyDeleting the Volumes that match the 'last_detach_event_age' filter
For testing we set the filter to 0 (means include the Volumes that were detached today)

> Number of found volumes in the 'available' state: 5
> Volumes total size: 500gb
> Deleting EBS Volumes in the 'available' state with detach history older than or equal to '0' days

In this example, we set the 'last_detach_event_age' to 30 days
Hence, the disks that were detached today are skipped
