Is there a limit on the number of EBS Snapshots we can archive?


Recently, AWS started offering archival of the EBS snapshots. Here is their press release: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-amazon-ebs-snapshots-archive/

I started archiving snapshots which send them to S3 Glacier and them it seems like I am hitting a limit as I am getting the following message:

Max number of archived snapshots per volume reached

Anyone know what the limit is on the number of archives I can do?


Solution

  • According to documentation there is an adjustable limit of 25 archived snapshots per volume.

    You can request to increase this value.
