AWS – Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager now automates copying EBS snapshots across accounts

We are excited to announce that customers will now be able to automate copy of EBS snapshots across accounts in different regions, as well as encrypt those copies with a different Customer Master Key (CMK) using Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager. Many customers have Disaster Recovery (DR) compliance needs that require their EBS snapshots to be copied to a separate region and stored with a different encryption key, to protect their data in case of a compromised account. We launched DLM support for copy across regions in December 2019, and now with support for copy across accounts, customers can automate even more actions on created snapshots to meet their DR requirements.
