Is there a way to copy EBS snapshot to another account in other region? (cross-region,cross-account)

Question

I'm trying to find out if it's possible to copy a snapshot from one account to another in different region in one go , without intermediate ( meaning copy/share to the other account then copy from the new account to the other region ), using lambda function and boto3 . I have searched in aws documentation but with no luck

Answer 1

When you need such "complex" logic, it can be implemented with either CloudFormation or Terraform . The flow will be like the comments suggested, copy to another region and give permission to another account.

This AWS blog speaks of a similar requirement with example CloudFormation templates here .

If you are unfamiliar with CloudFormation , you can get started with their docs but it isn't something you can do when in a hurry. Just good practice you can develop early on.
