Cleanup your old unused ami and related snapshots


Description
This tool enables you to clean your custom Amazon Machine Images (AMI) and
related EBS Snapshots.
You can either run in fetch and clean mode where the tool will
retrieve all your private AMIs and EC2 instances, exclude AMIs being
holded by your EC2 instances (it can be useful if you use autoscaling,
and so on …). It applies a filter based on their names or tags
and a number of previous AMIs you want to keep. You can also check and
delete EBS snapshots left orphaned by manual deletion of AMIs.
It can simply remove AMIs with a list of provided ids.
