Day 9 : Enable Termination Protection for EC2 Instance
100 Days of Cloud (AWS)
Welcome back to Day 9. Today, we will learn how to enable termination protection for an EC2 instance. After completing this lab, you will understand why this feature is important.
Why we need to enable termination protection?
That’s a good question. In EC2, termination protection is not enabled by default. You need to turn it on manually. Imagine your production application is running on an EC2 instance. If someone accidentally terminate this instance, your application will go down and you will lose your data. Your business will suffer many losses during this downtime. If you turn on this feature, no one can terminate your instance. You can prevent accidental terminates. That's why this feature should be enabled on an EC2 instance.
You will notice that termination protection is disabled by default.
