SageMaker notebook instances should not have direct internet access¶

Manage access to resources in the AWS Cloud by ensuring that AWS SageMaker notebooks do not allow direct internet access.

How to fix¶

Attribute direct_internet_access of aws_sagemaker_notebook_instance must be "Disabled".

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_notebook_instance.

resource "aws_sagemaker_notebook_instance" "this" {
  instance_type = "ml.t2.medium"
  name          = "pofix-example-notebook"
  role_arn      = "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/example-role"
  subnet_id     = "subnet-12345678"

  direct_internet_access = "Disabled"
}

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.
