S3 Backup Upload

Purpose

This app can be used to backup certain files to an AWS S3 Storage. 5 versions of the files are kept and then deleted if older than 5 days.

Contents:

The package contains two components:

• Terraform Code to create the S3 Bucket and setup the needed lifecycle policies and versioning as well as a technical user
• A simple python script + config file to do the work. The script should be set up to run on a schedule

Use Case

I built this to regularly push MS SQL Backups to S3 creating georedundancy for the backups. The script is scheduled as a task in Windows Server Task Scheduler and runs in production.
