Hi @jsalatiel,

Thanks for taking the time to open this issue. This sounds like a good module to add to the collection. Most of our modules are written by community members, who tend to target modules that meet their needs, so the fastest way to get a module added is by writing the module yourself and opening a PR. More information can be found in our documentation: https://github.com/ansible-collections/amazon.aws/blob/main/docs/docsite/rst/dev_guidelines.rst

If you're a Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform customer, I'd recommend also opening an RFE through the Customer Portal.

Unfortunately I can not do any of those. Should I just close this?

Feel free to leave it open, if enough other people chime in that they're interested in the feature than someone might pick it up. However, I ask that you understand that there are no guarantees about if/when this feature would be added.

[jsalatiel]

Understood. Thanks!

I wrote one a while back (https://github.com/flowerysong/ansible-flowerysong.melange/blob/main/plugins/modules/aws_data_lifecycle_manager.py) but have never had the time to work on submitting it.
