Template format error: Unrecognized resource types: [AWS::Backup::BackupPlan, AWS::Backup::BackupVault, AWS::Backup::BackupSelection] in eu-central-2?

0

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to deploy backup plan for RDS database but get the following error:

Template format error: Unrecognized resource types: [AWS::Backup::BackupPlan, AWS::Backup::BackupVault, AWS::Backup::BackupSelection]

The resource type definition is correct according to the CloudFormation documentation and previous tests I executed with standard CloudFormation stacks. The region of choice is eu-central-2 (Zurich), and according to documentation, AWS service "AWS Backup" should be available in that region since 2023-04-13. But why is CloudFormation unable to deploy the AWS::Backup resources?

Would be great to get some help and if it is a bug to address this to the AWS support team.

Best regards and thanks in advance!

  • Is it possible for you paste Cfn templates here?

Can you do that you want from Console on AWS Backup service ? Just for 1 resource and 1 time to validate that Backup itself is available in region Zurich

Also did you properly enable region Zurich via console: see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande-manage.html

  • Yes, it is possible to create it manualy but not using cloud formation. Also region is enabled for that account

  • We are using eu-central-2 already for the rest of the setup. Here is CF template: "fastdbbackup0BBC74B5": { "Type": "AWS::Backup::BackupPlan", "Properties": { "BackupPlan": { "BackupPlanName": "fast-db-backup", "BackupPlanRule": [ { "Lifecycle": { "DeleteAfterDays": 35 }, "RuleName": "Daily", "ScheduleExpression": "cron(0 5 * * ? *)", "TargetBackupVault": { "Fn::GetAtt": [ "fastdbbackupVault282CEB00", "BackupVaultName" ] } }, { "EnableContinuousBackup": true, "Lifecycle": { "DeleteAfterDays": 1 }, "RuleName": "fast-db-backupRule1", "TargetBackupVault": { "Fn::GetAtt": [ "fastdbbackupVault282CEB00", "BackupVaultName" ] } } ] } }, "Metadata": { "aws:cdk:path": "dev/FastDBStack/fast-db-backup/Resource" } }, "fastdbbackupfastdbselectionRoleC29F96D2": { "Type": "AWS::IAM::Role", "Properties": { "AssumeRolePolicyDocument": { "Statement": [ { "Action": "sts:AssumeRole", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "Service": "backup.amazonaws.com" } } ], "Version": "2012-10-17" }, "ManagedPolicyArns": [ { "Fn::Join": [ "", [ "arn:", { "Ref": "AWS::Partition" }, ":iam::aws:policy/service-role/AWSBackupServiceRolePoli
