Abstract
Provided is a system for facilitating recovery of deleted computing resources in a cloud network environment. A centralized resource recovery service may communicate with a plurality of resource management services that are each configured to create, modify, or delete their respective computing resources such as storage volumes, databases, and compute instances. The resource recovery service may allow creation of immutable resource retention rules that are, under certain conditions, unable to be deleted or modified, even by an administrative user who created such retention rules. Such immutable retention rules may be used to thwart malicious attempts to permanently delete resources by deleting the retention rules that govern such resources. Since such attempts to delete such immutable retention rules would fail, the retention rules would continue to apply and allow deleted resources to be placed in a recoverable state according to the retention rules.
