EBS snapshots should be encrypted¶

Ensure that EBS snapshots are encrypted. This rule is non-compliant if the EBS snapshot is not encrypted.

How to fix¶

Attribute encrypted of aws_ebs_snapshot_copy must be true.

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_ebs_snapshot_copy.

resource "aws_ebs_snapshot_copy" "this" {
  source_region      = "us-west-2"
  source_snapshot_id = "snap-0123456789abcdef0"

  encrypted = true
}

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.
