Which GCP feature prevents accidental deletion of critical resources by requiring a waiting period before resource deletion takes effect?

Accepted Answer

Delete Protection and Soft Delete prevents accidental deletion by enforcing a waiting period. This feature is specifically designed to safeguard critical resources. In contrast, IAM Deny Policies and Organization Policy Constraints control access, while Resource Locks via Deployment Manager is more about managing deployments. Delete Protection and Soft Delete stands out for its focus on delayed deletion.
