Automated DigitalOcean Snapshot Management
detail.loadingPreview
This workflow automates the management of your DigitalOcean snapshots. It ensures you always have a clean and up-to-date backup strategy by automatically deleting old snapshots and creating new ones on a schedule.
About This Workflow
Streamline your cloud infrastructure management with this automated DigitalOcean snapshot workflow. Designed to run every 48 hours, it intelligently manages your droplet backups. The process begins by fetching all your DigitalOcean droplets, then retrieving their existing snapshots. If a droplet has more than four snapshots, the oldest ones are automatically identified and deleted, freeing up valuable storage space. Following this cleanup, a new snapshot is created for each droplet, ensuring you always have a recent and reliable backup. This workflow is crucial for maintaining an efficient and cost-effective backup strategy, preventing excessive storage costs and ensuring data recoverability.

- Intelligent Snapshot Cleanup: Automatically deletes old snapshots exceeding a set limit (4).
