Review your Terraform file for AWS best practices

Shisho Cloud, our free checker to make sure your Terraform configuration follows best practices, is available (beta).

Parameters

Explanation in Terraform Registry

Manages the accepter's side of an EC2 Transit Gateway VPC Attachment. When a cross-account (requester's AWS account differs from the accepter's AWS account) EC2 Transit Gateway VPC Attachment is created, an EC2 Transit Gateway VPC Attachment resource is automatically created in the accepter's account. The requester can use the aws_ec2_transit_gateway_vpc_attachment resource to manage its side of the connection and the accepter can use the aws_ec2_transit_gateway_vpc_attachment_accepter resource to "adopt" its side of the connection into management.

Tips: Best Practices for The Other AWS Amazon EC2 Resources

In addition to the aws_default_vpc, AWS Amazon EC2 has the other resources that should be configured for security reasons. Please check some examples of those resources and precautions.

risk-label

aws_default_vpc

Ensure to avoid using default VPC

It is better to define the own VPC and use it.

risk-label

aws_network_acl_rule

Ensure your network ACL rule blocks unwanted inbound traffic

It is better to block unwanted inbound traffic.

risk-label

aws_ebs_volume

Ensure to use a customer-managed key for EBS volume encryption

It is better to use a customer-managed key for EBS volume encryption. It can be gain more control over the encryption by using customer-managed keys (CMK).

risk-label

aws_instance

Ensure to avoid storing AWS access keys in user data

It is better to avoid storing AWS access keys in user data. `aws_iam_instance_profile` could be used instead.

risk-label

aws_security_group

Ensure your security group blocks unwanted inbound traffic

It is better to block unwanted inbound traffic.

Review your AWS Amazon EC2 settings

In addition to the above, there are other security points you should be aware of making sure that your .tf files are protected in Shisho Cloud.
