E3030 case sensitivity caused DB instance destruction!
See original GitHub issuecfn-lint version: (cfn-lint --version) 0.29.0
Description of issue.
E3030 told me that “Postgres” was not an allowed engine name, so I changed it to “postgres”. This caused cloudformation to rebuild my database instance, aka complete data loss. Luckily only discovered this on staging environment.
I think since CloudFormation / RDS seems to allow it, this check should be made case insensitive 😃

I think this is also a CloudFormation bug, in that it compares the strings in a case-sensitive manner, when RDS underneath compares them in a case-insensitive manner. If you could file a bug there too that would be great.
@PatMyron @rjlohan can you two provide some thoughts here? I can confirm that it looks like the RDS resource takes any casing on the Engine… mysql, MYSQL, mySql, etc. However it looks like as you change the casing it causes the service to recreate the resource?
