AWS EC2 AMI and RDS Snapshot sharing

We are currently migrating our AWS infrastructure into another AWS Account,

To do so, I created AMIs of my EC2 instances which I need to redeploy in the newer AWS account, Similarly I took Snapshot of the RDS which I will be needing.

I shared the AMIs and the RDS with the new AWS Account Number.

What I am worried about is, When the old account is cleaned and shut down,
will my shared AMIs and Snapshots get removed from the new account as well?

Yes, they will go away and be inaccessible from the new account, since they will no longer exist.

Sharing only gives the remote account permission to access the resource. It doesn't copy or clone them.

From the new account, you need to make a copy of the shared AMIs and shared DB Snapshots if you want them to be permanently available.
