无法使用 python3 使用 boto3 删除快照

Question

I using boto3 on the python3 for delete the snapshop, Getting below error while trying to remove it (This syntax was work in the python2+boto only):

Tracebak (most recent call last):
  File "./snapshotcleanup.py"m line 158, in <module>
    s.delete()
 AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'delete'

Code :

connection = myinternalclient (User, pass)  
// Custom function for connection, you may consider ec2 = boto3.client('ec2') 



res = connection.describe_snapshots(OwnersIds=[XX], Filters=[{'Name' : 'tag:Name', 'Value' : ["nonimp*"]'}])

for s in res['Snapshots']:
    for tag in s['Tags']:
      if 'nonprod' in tag.value():
         s.delete()
          print("[Deleted Snapshot]: %s" % s['SnapshotId'])

Is this syntax not in the boto3 ?

Answer 1

To delete the snapshot, you can use delete_snapshot method.

For example:

ec2 = boto3.client('ec2')

for s in res['Snapshots']:
    for tag in s['Tags']:
        if tag['Value'] == 'nonprod':
            ec2.delete_snapshot(SnapshotId=s['SnapshotId'])        
            print("[Deleted Snapshot]: %s" % s['SnapshotId'])           

Please double check the code as mistakes are possible, as one can delete wrong snapshots by accident.

The above assumes that the tags have the form ( Key is not checked in the code above):

{
    'Key': 'env',
    'Value': 'nonprod'
}
