AWS lambda script help - Listing untagged volumes

[jutler]

Below is my code and I am hoping someone can help me with the cleaning up the code and making it more effiencient. Basically, the code should iterate through all the volumes in my AWS account and then list all untagged volumes and then send out an email. However, it times out when running it as a lambda function in AWS (set to max 15 mins) but if i run it locally, it will take over 30 mins to complete (however it does complete).

import logging import boto3 from smtplib import SMTP, SMTPException from email.mime.text import MIMEText logger = logging.getLogger() logger.setLevel(logging.INFO) session = boto3.Session(profile_name="prod") client = session.client('ec2') untagged_volumes = [] detached_volumes = [] ec2_instances = [] response = client.describe_volumes() for volume in response['Volumes']: if 'Tags' in str(volume): continue else: if 'available' in str(volume): detached_volumes.append(volume['VolumeId']) else: untagged_volumes.append(volume['VolumeId']) untagged_volumes.append(volume['Attachments'][0]['InstanceId']) ec2_instances.append(volume['Attachments'][0]['InstanceId']) unique_instances = list(set(ec2_instances)) # Create the msg body. msg_body_list = [] for instance in unique_instances: desc_instance = client.describe_instances() # append to the msg_body_list the lines that we would like to show on the email msg_body_list.append("VolumeID: {}".format(desc_instance['Reservations'][0]['Instances'][0]['BlockDeviceMappings'][0]['Ebs']['VolumeId'])) msg_body_list.append("Attached Instance: {}".format(desc_instance['Reservations'][0]['Instances'][0]['InstanceId'])) # if there are tags, we will append it as singles lines as far we have tags if 'Tags' in desc_instance['Reservations'][0]['Instances'][0]: msg_body_list.append("Tags:") for tag in desc_instance['Reservations'][0]['Instances'][0]['Tags']: msg_body_list.append(" Key: {} | Value: {}".format(tag['Key'], tag['Value'])) # in case we don't have tags, just append no tags. else: msg_body_list.append("Tags: no tags") msg_body_list.append("--------------------") # send email mail_from = "[email protected]" mail_to = '[email protected]' msg = MIMEText("\n".join(msg_body_list)) msg["Subject"] = "EBS Tagged Instance Report for" msg["From"] = mail_from msg["To"] = mail_to try: server = SMTP('xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx', 'xxx') server.sendmail(mail_from, mail_to.split(','), msg.as_string()) server.quit() print('Email sent') except SMTPException: print('ERROR! Unable to send mail')

When the script finally does complete and send the email, I only get the same instanceid listed loads of times with all information related to taht, so its not even iterating throught the unique_instances list. just picks the first one and repeats the process for that.

Any help would be appreciated.
