Route 53 domains auto renew should be enabled¶

This control ensures that AWS Route 53 Auto Renew feature is enabled to automatically renew your domain names as the expiration date approaches.

How to fix¶

Attribute auto_renew of aws_route53domains_registered_domain 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_route53domains_registered_domain.

resource "aws_route53domains_registered_domain" "this" {
  domain_name = "pofix-example.com"

  auto_renew = 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.
