How to Review Terraform Changes That Modify a Cloud Recovery Vault

A Terraform plan can change a recovery vault’s access, immutability, retention, or encryption settings. The change may affect whether backups survive account compromise or can be restored during an outage.

What to check

Inspect vault policy, retention lock, key access, cross-account permissions, deletion behavior, and dependent backup jobs. Confirm recovery requirements with service owners and test restore access.

Recommended next step

Require security and recovery-owner review for destructive changes. Keep a verified restore path and monitor backup protection after deployment.
