Feature Request : Exception in Terraform Destroy

[vikas027]

It would be great if we can some optional exceptions while running terraform destroy on a module. My use case:
I have Jenkins Module which backs/restore to a specified bucket/object in S3. Since this bucket/object is unique, I am also creating it thru the module itself. Now, if I destroy the module it also destroys the buckets as well.

Hi @vikas027! Thanks for this feature request

I think we would likely implement this as a facet of what was requested in #2253, which might come as part of #4149. Given a generic exclusion mechanism I think we would get destroy exclusion "for free", so I'm going to close this one and just consider this part of the scope of one of the others here.
