Redshift Snapshot using Redshift Manager by triggering Lambda Function

Question

How to create all prod redshift snapshots using Redshift Manager... action: aws:invokeLambdaFunction using this method (invoking Lambda Function) i want to create redshift cluster snapshots.

Answer 1

One of my friends helped me with the Solution.

1. we need to allow the Invoke function as shown below.

• PolicyName: AllowInvokeLambdaPolicy PolicyDocument: Version: "2012-10-17" Statement: - Effect: Allow Action: - lambda:InvokeFunction

2. We created a script to run via the Lambda function which collects the Cluster Name and invokes Lambda.

• name: BackupRedshiftCluster action: aws:invokeLambdaFunction maxAttempts: 3 inputs: FunctionName: !Sub redshift-manager Payload: !Sub | { "action": "snapshot", "cluster": "{{FetchClientName.ClientName}}"", "snapshot_suffix": "{{GenerateUniqueSnapshot.UniqueString}}"", "snapshot_retention": "15" }
