Description

CloudFormation now allows us to enable Stack Termination Protection, which works similar to the EC2 termination protection. We can enable it while creating the stack. When termination protection is enable, CloudFormation won't delete the stack unless we explicitly disable the protection. There are more information about this in the announcement.
