Hi I'm a developer advocate in the AWS Container organization. This question of how to handle resource destruction is an active issue on the project, and we'd welcome your comments (or those of anyone else) on this Github issue: https://github.com/aws/aws-controllers-k8s/issues/82 Our goal is to make this project have "no surprises" and therefore no unexpected destruction of resources. The specifics of how we mark resource as safe to delete instead of retaining by default are under discussion on that Github issue.

Currently no support for provisioning IAM permissions. ACK will be happy to construct an S3 bucket for you, that is then inaccessible, unless you use dangerous IAM wildcard permissions. Team is concerned about the security ramifications of setting up IAM permissions from ACK: https://github.com/aws/aws-controllers-k8s/issues/22#issueco... Look, it'll be great when it matures... but this is very much in the developer preview stage. Caveat emptor.
