Today, AWS Backup announces support for AWS CloudFormation resource exclusion, allowing you to exclude resources from your application backups. AWS Backup is a fully managed service that centralizes and automates data protection across AWS services and hybrid workloads. Now, when assigning resources to backup plans, you can exclude specific resources within your CloudFormation stacks, optimizing cost on non-critical resources.
AWS Backup resource exclusion for AWS CloudFormation is available in all AWS Regions where AWS Backup is available. You can get started by using the AWS Backup console, API, or CLI. For more information on using CloudFormation resource exclusion with AWS Backup, visit the documentation.
