make RDS backup retention configurable

Feature RequestsCloudFormation

when provisioning RDS with cloudformation, the number of backups is hardcoded to 5 under

cloudformation/infra-db.yaml:Resources.DBCluster.Properties.BackupRetentionPeriod

can you please:

  • make this configurable for v2 CF deployments in config.json

  • make this configurable for v3 reference architecture, e.g. in tf modules [note that EKS module has create_database switch, while ECS module is missing it - I have reported that separately]

    My apologies, but can you please provide more details? Either I’m lacking some critical context or you’re asking us to rewrite your CloudFormation code, which is not a service we ever provided.
