Hi,
Currently, We don't delete any of the AMIs that are created by fedimg. Even though Amazon does not charge for the AMIs but snapshots which back the AMIs does cost us. We cannot delete the snapshots until the AMIs are deregistered. In the last few months the number of AMIs has grown which has led to humongous bills.
So, we need to delete the AMIs based on parameters on which we can de-register the AMIs and delete the associated snapshots.
So, me and Kushal want to propose the following based on the discussion on the trac[1] and mailing list[2]. We updated the trac ticket[1] with this proposal.
1. Delete the pre-release AMIs after the final release. 2. Delete the nightly builds every five days.
Can all the WG members vote on the ticket?

I am not sure if I am allowed to vote or not but I got some scripts written in python in boto library which I used to run in crontab to delete amis periodically. Let me know if you need help around that.
