MQ brokers should restrict public access¶

Ensure whether MQ broker is not publicly accessible. The rule is compliant if the MQ broker is publicly accessible.

How to fix¶

Attribute publicly_accessible of aws_mq_broker must be false.

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"
  }

  publicly_accessible = false
}
