Moving snapshots created by ami's to Cold storage
0
Is there a way to move snapshots created by ami's to cold storage to reduce s3 related cost, since ami snapshots by default get saved to S3 standard tier storage. If there are some snapshots that the customer knows that can be moved to least cost saving storage tier, how can they achieve the same.

There is option to export the AMI to S3 (hence to a cold storage as well). You can create custom workflow (Lambda/StepFunction, perhaps) to orchestrate AMI creation & export process.

But my question is w.r.t. the snapshots that are created for the ami, the cx wants to move only the snapshot to an cost efficient storage tier
