emr_set_termination_protection: SetTerminationProtection locks a cluster (job flow) so the EC2 instances in the cluster cannot be terminated by user intervention, an API call, or in the event of a job-flow error

Description

SetTerminationProtection locks a cluster (job flow) so the EC2 instances in the cluster cannot be terminated by user intervention, an API call, or in the event of a job-flow error. The cluster still terminates upon successful completion of the job flow. Calling SetTerminationProtection on a cluster is similar to calling the Amazon EC2 DisableAPITermination API on all EC2 instances in a cluster.

Usage

emr_set_termination_protection(JobFlowIds, TerminationProtected)

Arguments

JobFlowIds

[required] A list of strings that uniquely identify the clusters to protect. This identifier is returned by RunJobFlow and can also be obtained from DescribeJobFlows .

TerminationProtected

[required] A Boolean that indicates whether to protect the cluster and prevent the Amazon EC2 instances in the cluster from shutting down due to API calls, user intervention, or job-flow error.

Request syntax

svc$set_termination_protection(
  JobFlowIds = list(
    "string"
  ),
  TerminationProtected = TRUE|FALSE
)

Details

SetTerminationProtection is used to prevent accidental termination of a cluster and to ensure that in the event of an error, the instances persist so that you can recover any data stored in their ephemeral instance storage.

To terminate a cluster that has been locked by setting SetTerminationProtection to true, you must first unlock the job flow by a subsequent call to SetTerminationProtection in which you set the value to false.
