  name: RDS Automated Backup Check
  author: princechaddha
  severity: high
  description: |
    Ensure that your Amazon RDS database instances have automated backups enabled for point-in-time recovery.
  impact: |
    Lack of automated backups can lead to data loss in case of accidental deletion or database corruption.
  remediation: |
    Enable automated backups for RDS instances by setting the backup retention period to a value other than 0.
