SageMaker notebook instance encryption should be enabled

To help protect data at rest, ensure encryption with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) is enabled for your SageMaker notebook.

How to fix

Attribute kms_key_id of aws_sagemaker_notebook_instance 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_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"

  kms_key_id = "arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789012:key/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012"
}
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.
