@dannyroberts This PR looks in good shape, before merging it, I want to ensure that you are okay with the change where we move our quarterly backups to cold storage after 8 days? Let me know if you want this value to be larger or smaller.

We chatted in the meeting today, but yeah 8 days sounds good to me!

cold_storage_after : this determines how many days after being created a recovery point gets moved to cold storage.
We hardcoded the value of the cold_storage_after parameter as a variable. So, we specified the value in the environmental files under terraform.yml.

opt_in_to_archive_for_supported_resources : this allows backup plan to transition supported resources to archive (cold) storage based on lifecycle settings.
For the opt_in_to_archive_for_supported_resources parameter, we set the value to true because we are enabling the Cold Storage option for Amazon EBS on the console.

Here we are defining the variable name and variable type. This variable will be used to specify the number of days after creation that a recovery point is moved to cold storage.
