Final answer:
To disable deletion protection in AWS RDS, you must modify the database instance by unchecking the 'Enable deletion protection' checkbox under the 'Deletion protection' section and confirm the modification.
Step-by-step explanation:
To disable deletion protection in AWS RDS, you need to modify the database instance and turn off the deletion protection feature. Deletion protection is a safety feature that prevents your database from being accidentally deleted. To change this setting, follow the steps below:
- Navigate to the RDS dashboard in the AWS Management Console.
- Choose the database instance you want to modify.
- In the 'Modify DB Instance' page, scroll down to find the 'Deletion protection' section.
- Uncheck the 'Enable deletion protection' checkbox.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click 'Continue'.
- Review the changes and click 'Modify DB Instance' to apply the changes.
Note that you should only disable deletion protection if you are sure you no longer need to protect the RDS instance from being accidentally deleted. Always be cautious with this setting, especially in production environments.
