How to set Termination Protection for an EC2 Instance?

[mikelhamer]

I'm not seeing any way in the EC2 construct to set Termination Protection. Is this possible?

To clarify, I'm talking about the setting for the actual EC2 Instance, not the Stack.

Present in L1 but not L2 construct, so set via escape hatch

Adding more reference to @PatMyron answer, the property is -

disableApiTermination

Type: boolean | [IResolvable](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.IResolvable.html) (optional)

If you set this parameter to true , you can't terminate the instance using the Amazon EC2 console, CLI, or API;

otherwise, you can. To change this attribute after launch, use [ModifyInstanceAttribute](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_ModifyInstanceAttribute.html) . Alternatively, if you set InstanceInitiatedShutdownBehavior to terminate , you can terminate the instance by running the shutdown command from the instance.

Default: false

like this -

    const instance = new ec2.CfnInstance(this, "myInstance", {
          disableApiTermination :true,
    })
