Amazon MQ brokers should have automatic minor version upgrade enabled¶

This control checks whether an Amazon MQ broker has automatic minor version upgrade enabled. The control fails if the broker doesn't have automatic minor version upgrade enabled.

How to fix¶

Attribute auto_minor_version_upgrade of aws_mq_broker 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_mq_broker.

resource "aws_mq_broker" "this" {
  broker_name        = "pofix-example-broker"
  engine_type        = "ActiveMQ"
  engine_version     = "5.17.6"
  host_instance_type = "mq.t3.micro"

  logs {
    audit   = true
    general = true
  }

  user {
    password = "ChangeMe123!"
    username = "admin"
  }

  auto_minor_version_upgrade = 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.
