AppStream fleet max user duration should be set to less than 10 hours¶

Ensure user maximum session duration is no longer than 10 hours. A session duration exceeding 10 hours is unnecessary and may offer malicious users an extended period of unauthorized usage beyond acceptable limits.

How to fix¶

Attribute max_user_duration_in_seconds of aws_appstream_fleet 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_appstream_fleet.

resource "aws_appstream_fleet" "this" {
  compute_capacity {
    desired_instances = 1
  }
  idle_disconnect_timeout_in_seconds = 600
  instance_type                      = "stream.standard.small"
  name                               = "pofix-example-fleet"
}

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.
