API Gateway V2 authorizer should be configured

This control checks whether API Gateway V2 has an authorizer configured. This rule is non-compliant if API Gateway V2 has no authorizers configured.

How to fix

Attribute authorizer_id of aws_apigatewayv2_route must be non-empty.

Implementation options

Choose the option that matches how you manage Terraform. All options satisfy this control.

Option 1: Terraform AWS provider resources

If you manage resources directly, configure the relevant Terraform AWS provider resources to meet this control. See docs for the resources involved: aws_apigatewayv2_route.

resource "aws_apigatewayv2_api" "this" {
  name          = "pofix-example-api"
  protocol_type = "HTTP"
}

resource "aws_apigatewayv2_route" "this" {
  api_id             = "abc123"
  authorization_type = "AWS_IAM"
  authorizer_id      = "abc123"
  route_key          = "GET /example"
}
Which option should I choose?
  • Compliance.tf module (recommended): controls enforced by default and mapped to frameworks.
  • Open source module (terraform-aws-modules): compatible by design with compliance.tf. Same variable names for an easy, low-change migration path when you are ready.
  • Terraform AWS provider resources: manage Terraform resources directly.
