How to get all your AWS snapshots using one command and AWS CLI

In case there is a need to view all the available snapshots from all of your account, for all of the availability zone using one command, this is how to do it.

create the owner-list.txt file which contain all of your AWS accounts number, each account should be in a line, for example

# cat owner-list.txt

483426017123 

487214417321

then create az-list.txt file, with the following availability zones

# cat az-list.txt

us-east-1 

us-east-2 

us-west-1 

us-west-2 

ca-central-1 

eu-west-1

eu-central-1

eu-west-2 

ap-southeast-1 

ap-southeast-2 

ap-northeast-2 

ap-northeast-1 

ap-south-1 

sa-east-1

now create the script itself

#cat get-snapshot.sh

while read az; do  

echo $az 

while read owner; do 

echo $owner 

aws ec2 describe-snapshots --region $az --owner-ids $owner --output json > $owner.$az.json 

done <owner-list.txt 

done <az-list.txt

the output will be list of json files, for each AZ and account.
