AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Professional SAP-C02 — Topic 1 Question 89

Question

A company is using AWS CloudFormation to deploy its infrastructure. The company is concerned that, if a production CloudFormation stack is deleted, important data stored in Amazon RDS databases or Amazon EBS volumes might also be deleted. How can the company prevent users from accidentally deleting data in this way?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The correct answer is A. Option A: Modify the CloudFormation templates to add a DeletionPolicy attribute to RDS and EBS resources. Amazon EBS provides block storage attached to a single EC2 instance. Amazon RDS is a managed relational database that handles patching, backups and failover. AWS CloudFormation provisions infrastructure as code repeatably.
