aws_vpc_endpoint_connection_notification (Terraform)

The Endpoint Connection Notification in Amazon EC2 can be configured in Terraform with the resource name aws_vpc_endpoint_connection_notification. The following sections describe 5 examples of how to use the resource and its parameters.

Example Usage from GitHub

main.tf#L7
resource "aws_vpc_endpoint_connection_notification" "this" {
  connection_events           = var.connection_events
  connection_notification_arn = var.connection_notification_arn
  vpc_endpoint_id             = var.vpc_endpoint_id
  vpc_endpoint_service_id     = var.vpc_endpoint_service_id
}

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.
