 For steps on how to run this rule in proactive mode, see [Evaluating Your Resources with Amazon Config Rules](./evaluating-your-resources.html#evaluating-your-resources-proactive). For this rule to return COMPLIANT in proactive mode, the resource configuration schema for the [StartResourceEvaluation](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/config/latest/APIReference/API_StartResourceEvaluation.html) API needs to include the following inputs, encoded as a string: 

```
"ResourceConfiguration":
...
{
    "AutomatedSnapshotRetentionPeriod": Integer*,
    "PreferredMaintenanceWindow": String*,
    "AllowVersionUpgrade": BOOLEAN*
} 
...
```

\$1For more information on valid values for these inputs, see [AutomatedSnapshotRetentionPeriod](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-redshift-cluster.html#cfn-redshift-cluster-automatedsnapshotretentionperiod), [PreferredMaintenanceWindow](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-redshift-cluster.html#cfn-redshift-cluster-preferredmaintenancewindow), and [AllowVersionUpgrade](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-resource-redshift-cluster.html#cfn-redshift-cluster-allowversionupgrade) in the Amazon CloudFormation User Guide.
