What this pane shows

All EBS snapshots in the account with their size, creation date, source-volume ID, and a flag indicating whether the source volume still exists. Orphan snapshots — those whose parent volume has been deleted — are surfaced first because they're typically the largest avoidable cost.

Key use cases

Find and delete orphan snapshots — usually the biggest avoidable EBS spend.
Audit snapshot age before applying a lifecycle policy.
Confirm a backup automation is creating snapshots at the expected cadence.
Spot a runaway script that's been snapshotting hourly without expiry.

How to embed

Drop this snippet on any HTML page that loads lp-embed.js. The pane mounts itself wherever the matching <div> is in the DOM.

<div class="lp-ebs-snapshots-panel"
     data-lp-account="<your-account-alias>"></div>
<script src="https://lightpane.io/embed/lp-embed.js"
        data-lp-key="<your-access-key>"></script>
<script src="https://lightpane.io/_pane-tests/aws/ebs-snapshots/ebs-snapshots.js"
        defer></script>

Build notes

Stage 1 wiring (2026-04-28): snapshot inventory live via lp-fetch.js (service ebs_snapshots), with volume inventory (ebs_volumes) fetched in parallel to detect orphan snapshots (source volume no longer exists)

Mock-only at the moment — live-wiring tracked in the roadmap.
