Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) is a fast, scalable, highly available, and fully managed document database service that supports MongoDB workloads. Amazon DocumentDB makes it easy and intuitive to store, query, and index JSON data.  

Deletion protection is an Amazon DocumentDB capability that helps you prevent against the accidental deletion of your cluster. When deletion protection is enabled, a cluster cannot be deleted via the management console, CLI, or CloudFormation. With this launch, you can now use CloudFormation to enable and disable deletion protection for your Amazon DocumentDB clusters.
