Is it possible to set a flag on a resource somewhere that will prevent it being accidentally deleted?
Specifically we are using Terraform to provision things, and do not want a typo or anything to result in important resources being removed. I know Terraform has a “prevent_destroy” option, but this does not work if somebody accidentally renames the resource for example.
It would be ideal if DO could also have a flag which would prevent deletion.
