Today, Amazon Backup announces support for Amazon CloudFormation resource exclusion, allowing you to exclude resources from your application backups in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.

Amazon Backup is a fully managed service that centralizes and automates data protection across Amazon Web Services resources and hybrid workloads. Now, when assigning resources to backup plans, you can exclude specific resource within your CloudFormation stacks, optimizing cost on non-critical resources. 

Amazon Backup resource exclusion for Amazon CloudFormation is available in Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. You can get started by using the Amazon Backup console, API, or CLI.
