Snapshot and Volume sharing between accounts
As a SaaS Provider, I would like to provide my customers with the ability to create snapshots and save the data into another (SaaS) account.
For customers, it enables an easy migration between accounts (think M&A or multiple account strategy) which today is really difficult.
This should be enabled for both boot volumes and data volumes.

Hi Yoav, we are working on a feature that might help address this ask.
"I would like to provide my customers with the ability to create snapshots and save the data into another (SaaS) account."
The current solution we are working on will allow account A to share a snapshot of a volume in account A with account B, that way account B can restore to a new volume from the snapshot in account A. This, as the idea describes, enables easy migration between accounts.
Your title mentions “snapshot and volume sharing”, but this is only targeting “cross-account snapshot restore”, which I think is sufficient to address the use case you’re describing.
This feature should be available for all users before end of year (2024).
