Impact

This check examines the attribute backup_retention_period this should have a value 1-35, and checks if its set to 0 which would disable the backup. This check is currently under review and maybe suppressed in future releases.

How to Fix

• Arguments: backup_retention_period [source,go]

---

resource "aws_rds_cluster" "test" { ...

• backup_retention_period = 35 }
