DynamoDbTableDeletionProtectionEnabled
Deletion protection for the Rack's DynamoDB table. When enabled, the table cannot be deleted by any user or process. This setting is disabled by default.
| Default value | false |
| Allowed values | true, false |
Use Cases
- Enable on production racks to prevent accidental deletion of DynamoDB tables that store critical Rack state.
- Required by compliance frameworks that mandate deletion protection on persistent data stores.
- Protect against infrastructure-as-code mistakes or manual CloudFormation stack operations that could remove tables.
Additional Information
When set to true, any attempt to delete the DynamoDB table (whether through the AWS Console, CLI, or CloudFormation) will fail until deletion protection is explicitly disabled. This adds a safety layer against accidental data loss.
Note that enabling this parameter does not affect read/write access to the table -- it only prevents the table itself from being deleted.
