Unable to set periodically deletion of created snapshots

[lukasova]

I would like to ask, how can I configure some automated deletion of snapshots created via your Compute Engine plugin in Jenkins. There is no option for that in Jenkins. Also I did not find anything like that in Google Compute Engine what would be applicable to snapshots created by your plugin. Could you please help me with it?
Thank you

Hi @lukasova, are you referring to scheduled snapshots? This is a beta feature that we currently don't offer support for, in that there is no way to assign a scheduled deletion to snapshots created by this plugin. I think when it becomes generally available it would be something we'd want to make use of in this plugin.

In the meantime it should be possible to create something that keeps track of snapshots that are created and then deletes them after a specified time to live. When I get a chance I'll look into whether there might be an easy solution which can be accomplished through this plugin.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
