Python boto ec2-删除AMI的快照

Question

I want to delete an AMI along with all the snapshots associated with it. According to the docs:

deregister_image(image_id, delete_snapshot=True)
Unregister an AMI.

Parameters: 
image_id (string) – the ID of the Image to unregister
delete_snapshot (bool) – Set to True if we should delete the snapshot associated with an EBS volume mounted at /dev/sda1

So does this mean that this deletes only the snapshot of the root EBS volume? What about the snapshots of other EBS volumes? How do I delete them?

Or have I got the concept of snapshots completely wrong? Will there be only one snapshot for all the EBS backed devices?

Answer 1

If, when you originally registered the AMI, you supplied a snapshot_id parameter to use as the root device for the image, the delete_snapshot parameter on unregister_image allows you to optionally delete this snapshot when the AMI is unregistered.

What other "snapshots associated with" the AMI do you want to delete?
