AWS Recycle Bin allows you to set retention rules for EBS snapshots, preventing them from being permanently deleted for a specified period (e.g., 7 days). If a snapshot is accidentally deleted, it is moved to the Recycle Bin and can be restored within the retention period. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ebs/latest/userguide/recycle-bin.html
