lockSnapshot

Locks an Amazon EBS snapshot in either governance or compliance mode to protect it against accidental or malicious deletions for a specific duration. A locked snapshot can't be deleted.

You can also use this action to modify the lock settings for a snapshot that is already locked. The allowed modifications depend on the lock mode and lock state:

• If the snapshot is locked in governance mode, you can modify the lock mode and the lock duration or lock expiration date.

• If the snapshot is locked in compliance mode and it is in the cooling-off period, you can modify the lock mode and the lock duration or lock expiration date.

• If the snapshot is locked in compliance mode and the cooling-off period has lapsed, you can only increase the lock duration or extend the lock expiration date.
