Description

This control ensures that deletion protection is enabled for an RDS cluster. Enabling cluster deletion protection adds an extra layer of security against accidental or unauthorized deletion of a database. Deletion protection must be disabled before deletion requests can be accomplished.

Remediation

To enable deletion protection for an RDS cluster, see Modifying the DB cluster by using the console, CLI, and API in the Amazon RDS User Guide.
