Hello All,

I have the following , but when I try to run it nothing happens from the command line.I am using ubuntu 16, and I have everything configured in my ~/.aws/config and credentials file. I have snapshots configured in aws tags

Quote:DeleteOn 2018-02-06

The part I added was regarding the deleting of snapshots based on the tags[Value], I am new to python, but the logic seems fair, can you offer some help please.

Thank you
