Asked By TechieGuru42 On

I'm really concerned about the security of my critical EC2 instances. Is there a way to protect them from malicious deletions, like requiring multiple approvals before termination? Can we implement a mechanism where more than one engineer needs to be involved to terminate these instances? Also, are there options for setting up automatic daily backups for certain EC2 instances? I'd appreciate any guidance on this!

To protect against accidental deletions, enabling termination protection is key. Also, use IAM roles with least privilege access to manage permissions effectively. If your account is part of an AWS organization, consider using Service Control Policies (SCPs) to deny termination rights for specific principals.

Absolutely, you can set up termination protection for vital instances. Just make sure to implement strong IAM policies to limit who can terminate instances. Also, automate your backups regularly using AWS Backup.

Thanks for all the input! I’m familiar with enabling termination protection and IAM roles, but I'll definitely look into integrating these measures with my CI/CD pipeline for extra safety.
