SageMaker models should be in a VPC

Manage access to the AWS Cloud by ensuring SageMaker models are within an AWS Virtual Private Cloud (AWS VPC).

How to fix

Attribute vpc_config[0].security_group_ids of aws_sagemaker_model 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_sagemaker_model.

resource "aws_sagemaker_model" "this" {
  execution_role_arn = "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/example-role"

  vpc_config {
    security_group_ids = ["sg-abc12345"]
    subnets            = ["subnet-abc123", "subnet-def456"]
  }
}
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.
