What this pane shows

All RDS instances and Aurora clusters in the account, each row showing the database engine, backup retention period (days), the age of the most recent automated snapshot, Multi-AZ deployment flag, deletion-protection flag and any maintenance actions AWS has pending. Resources with short retention or no protection are surfaced first.

Key use cases

Audit backup-retention compliance across production databases.
Find Single-AZ instances that should be Multi-AZ.
Catch a database with deletion-protection turned off.
Confirm a fleet-wide retention-policy change actually applied.

How to embed

lp.js is the single-entry loader: it injects the shared LightPane runtime (and sd-embed.css) once per page. Add this pane's own stylesheet and script; the pane mounts itself wherever the matching <div> is in the DOM.

<!-- In <head> — this pane's stylesheet -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://lightpane.io/_pane-tests/aws/rds-backups/rds-backups.css">

<!-- Your access key (inline, or set window.lpEmbed.accessKey from your own JS) -->
<script>window.lpEmbed = { accessKey: "<your-access-key>" };</script>

<!-- Where the pane should appear -->
<div class="lp-rds-backups-panel" data-lp-account="<your-account-alias>"></div>

<!-- Before </body> — shared loader + this pane's script -->
<script src="https://lightpane.io/embed/lp.js"></script>
<script src="https://lightpane.io/_pane-tests/aws/rds-backups/rds-backups.js" defer></script>
