AWS API Changes

2020/05/20 - AWS Backup - 2 new api methods

Changes This release allows customers to enable or disable AWS Backup support for an AWS resource type. This release also includes new APIs, update-region-settings and describe-region-settings, which can be used to opt in to a specific resource type. For all current AWS Backup customers, the default settings enable support for EBS, EC2, StorageGateway, EFS, DDB and RDS resource types.

UpdateRegionSettings (new)

Link ¶

Updates the current service opt-in settings for the region. If the service has a value set to true, AWS Backup will attempt to protect that service's resources in this region, when included in an on-demand backup or scheduled backup plan. If the value is set to false for a service, AWS Backup will not attempt to protect that service's resources in this region.
