I am trying to reduce costs of my AWS system. I thought of moving some volumes I rarely use to Amazon Glacier, but I don't find any way I can do it inside AWS besides downloading the volume and uploading to Glacier, which sounds terrible.
I am wondering, is it possible to do this automatically? Assign some EC2 volumes to glacier directly from the EC2 console?
Thanks

Currently, there is no way of uploading objects directly to S3 Glacier using a Snowball Edge. Thus, you first have to upload your objects into S3 Standard, and then use S3 lifecycle policies to transition the files to S3 Glacier.
EBS snapshots, even though they are stored in Amazon S3, also cannot be moved to Amazon Glacier. There are 2 ways to put data into Amazon Glacier: Put the file/data directly into an Amazon Glacier vault. Put the file/data in Amazon S3, then use an Amazon S3 lifecycle to move the object(s) to Amazon Glacier.
It's not possible to move an existing instance to another subnet, Availability Zone, or VPC. Instead, you can manually migrate the instance by creating a new Amazon Machine Image (AMI) from the source instance. Then, launch a new instance using the new AMI in the desired subnet, Availability Zone, or VPC.
You can't attach instance store volumes to an instance after you've launched it. If you change the instance type, an instance store will not be attached to the new instance type.
EBS volumes cannot be copied or migrated to Amazon Glacier.

You could use aws s3 sync to copy your filesystem into S3, then have that moved to Glacier. But there is no magic solution for what you want to achieve.
