Snapshot Deletion

The removal of a point-in-time backup of a cloud storage volume, virtual machine (VM), or database.

Data Collection Measures:

• AWS CloudTrail
  • Logs DeleteSnapshot API calls in EC2, RDS, and EBS services.
• Azure Monitor Logs
  • Tracks snapshot deletions via Microsoft.Compute/snapshots/delete API calls.
• Google Cloud Logging
  • Detects snapshot removal through compute.disks.deleteSnapshot events.
