Cleaning and migrating

At month's end, I'll be losing the free t4 trial and need to offload some of that stuff elsewhere. I also want to clean up some older snapshots and AMIs that I have, as well as delete some of the S3 buckets I created doing the SysOps Admin labs. I would also like to get to a point where bringing up my boxes is just typing some CLI commands or better yet a script, but that is still some days of work away at this point. I have tidied up a few stopped spot instances, and a number of volumes. What I need to do next is to aggregate my URL files and somehow process my various log files. Maybe just putting them in date order, ensuring there are no duplicate lines (from having the same file multiple times) and bzipping them up would work for now?

Oh, and modernizing the mail AMI -- right now, it fires up and tries to fail a message which is in queue, and that is bad. But just as important, I'd like for the mail host list to be dynamic and checked at first boot, and then periodically thereafter. A few things to do, for sure. Also, netbooting the Pi... probably try tomorrow again.
