This pattern deploys an EventBridge rule that automatically creates EBS snapshots when an EC2 instance shuts down using direct EBS target integration.
This pattern creates an automated EBS snapshot system using EventBridge event-driven rules with direct EBS target integration.
The EventBridge rule monitors EC2 instance state changes and triggers when an instance enters shutting-down or stopping state.
The solution requires Volume ID and Instance ID parameters and uses pure infrastructure-as-code approach without Lambda functions.

Stop or terminate the monitored EC2 instance after deployment.
Check EC2 console snapshots section - snapshot will be created when instance shuts down.
