Class RemovalPolicy

Possible values for a resource's Removal Policy.

Inheritance

System.Object

RemovalPolicy

Namespace: Amazon.CDK

Assembly: Amazon.CDK.dll

Syntax (csharp)

public sealed class RemovalPolicy : Enum

Syntax (vb)

Public NotInheritable Class RemovalPolicy
    Inherits

     Enum

Remarks

The removal policy controls what happens to the resource if it stops being managed by CloudFormation. This can happen in one of three situations:

The Removal Policy applies to all above cases.

Many stateful resources in the AWS Construct Library will accept a removalPolicy as a property, typically defaulting it to RETAIN.

If the AWS Construct Library resource does not accept a removalPolicy argument, you can always configure it by using the escape hatch mechanism, as shown in the following example:

Bucket bucket;


CfnResource cfnBucket = (CfnResource)bucket.Node.FindChild("Resource");
cfnBucket.ApplyRemovalPolicy(RemovalPolicy.DESTROY);

Examples

using Amazon.CDK.AWS.Elasticsearch;

GraphqlApi api;


User user = new User(this, "User");
Domain domain = new Domain(this, "Domain", new DomainProps {
    Version = ElasticsearchVersion.V7_1,
    RemovalPolicy = RemovalPolicy.DESTROY,
    FineGrainedAccessControl = new AdvancedSecurityOptions { MasterUserArn = user.UserArn },
    EncryptionAtRest = new EncryptionAtRestOptions { Enabled = true },
    NodeToNodeEncryption = true,
    EnforceHttps = true
});
ElasticsearchDataSource ds = api.AddElasticsearchDataSource("ds", domain);

ds.CreateResolver(new BaseResolverProps {
    TypeName = "Query",
    FieldName = "getTests",
    RequestMappingTemplate = MappingTemplate.FromString(JSON.Stringify(new Dictionary<string, object> {
        { "version", "2017-02-28" },
        { "operation", "GET" },
        { "path", "/id/post/_search" },
        { "params", new Struct {
            Headers = new Struct { },
            QueryString = new Struct { },
            Body = new Struct { From = 0, Size = 50 }
        } }
    })),
    ResponseMappingTemplate = MappingTemplate.FromString(@"[
        #foreach($entry in $context.result.hits.hits)
        #if( $velocityCount > 1 ) , #end
        $utils.toJson($entry.get(""_source""))
        #end
      ]")
});

Synopsis

Fields

DESTROY	This is the default removal policy.
RETAIN	This uses the 'Retain' DeletionPolicy, which will cause the resource to be retained in the account, but orphaned from the stack.
SNAPSHOT	This retention policy deletes the resource, but saves a snapshot of its data before deleting, so that it can be re-created later.
