How can I automatically add termination protection to stacks launched using service catalog?

Question

Hi,

We are launching stacks using service catalog (via the Java client, as it happens). We'd like to enable termination protection for each stack that gets launched.

I'm struggling to find out how... possibilities:
* It's a parameter to the provision product API call - but I can't see it if so
* It's defined in the product's definition - but I can't see where if so
* We should turn it on with a subsequent API call after the product is provisioned?

Just to muddy the waters further, we actually create the product stack and the product via the Java CDK - there is actually a a `setTerminationProtection` setter on `software.amazon.awscdk.services.servicecatalog.ProductStack` but setting it to `true` doesn't actually affect the CloudFormation template that gets generated 🤷‍♂️.

Accepted Answer

Edit - updated to retry until the stack arn is present on the record outputs...

The only solution I've so far found is to set it immediately after creation using the SDK.

```kotlin
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.cloudformation.CloudFormationClient
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.cloudformation.model.UpdateTerminationProtectionRequest
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.servicecatalog.ServiceCatalogClient
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.servicecatalog.model.DescribeRecordRequest
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.servicecatalog.model.ProvisionProductRequest
import java.time.Duration
import java.time.Instant.now

val serviceCatalogClient = ServiceCatalogClient.create()
val cloudFormationClient = CloudFormationClient.create()

val provisionProductResponse = serviceCatalogClient.provisionProduct(ProvisionProductRequest.builder()
   // TODO add params!
  .build()
)

var stackArn: String? = null
val timeout = now() + Duration.ofSeconds(20)

while (stackArn == null && now() < timeout) {
  Thread.sleep(Duration.ofSeconds(1).toMillis())
  val record = serviceCatalogClient.describeRecord(DescribeRecordRequest.builder()
    .id(provisionProductResponse.recordDetail().recordId())
    .build()
  )
  stackArn = record
    .recordOutputs()
    ?.singleOrNull { it.outputKey() == "CloudformationStackARN" }
    ?.outputValue()
}

if (stackArn != null) {
  cloudFormationClient.updateTerminationProtection(UpdateTerminationProtectionRequest.builder()
    .stackName(stackArn)
    .enableTerminationProtection(true)
    .build()
  )
}
```
