Hello,

The ScyllaDB team is pleased to announce v1.12 of the ScyllaDB Cloud
Terraform provider.

We are changing the default behavior of the Delete Cluster functionality to help protect customers from accidental data loss.

Previously, deleting a cluster also deleted all of its nightly backups. Now, when a cluster is deleted, its backups are retained for one day by default.

Using the new Terraform provider, users can change the retention period to up to 60 days or disable backup retention entirely.

Clusters deleted using an older version of the Terraform provider will retain their backups for one day by default.

Highlights

In this release, we add support for the backup_retention_days parameter to cluster resource, which specifies how many days to keep cluster backups after cluster deletion.

The cluster resource is backup_retention_days

backup_retention_days (Number) — Number of days to retain backups after deleting the cluster. Accepts a value from 0 to 60 and defaults to 1. Setting it to 0 deletes the backups immediately with the cluster.
