Techdocs: Resolving SCP-blocked Deletions for Terraform-managed AWS Resources #3082

Open wrnu opened 1 month ago

wrnu commented 1 month ago

Describe the issue Add documentation about removing AWS resources created through Terraform that encounter an explicit deny on deletion due to Service Control Policies (SCPs).

Additional context Users may encounter situations where Terraform-created AWS resources (such as KMS aliases and CloudWatch log groups) are protected from deletion by SCPs. The solution is to remove these resources from the Terraform state.
