I can't use the curator plugin (or any other plugin really) because we are on AWS ES service.. I'm thinking the best I could do is write some bash scripts and fire them off with cron everyday , deleting old indices. does anyone have any best practice advise? thanks

@treehouse Curator 3.4.0 includes some fixes which specifically address usability within AWS ES. It should work just fine for what you need.
