• tagging.py - the python script that can be ran from command line to tag the EBS and the Snapshot
• README.md - this file

How does it work

The tagging function will search all of your EBS and tag them with tags the parent instances and it will search all of your snapshot and tag them with tags from the parent AMI

For any resource (EBS or Snapshot) that does not have a parent. EBS not associated with an instance or snapshot that has it's parent AMI deregistered, it will mark it as "UNUSED" so it can be cleaned up

To use as a lambda function

this function can be easily adapted to lambda by adding in the missing lambda define
