The CDK Construct Library for AWS::Config

Project description

AWS Config Construct Library

---

Stability: Experimental

This is a developer preview (public beta) module. Releases might lack important features and might have future breaking changes.

This API is still under active development and subject to non-backward compatible changes or removal in any future version. Use of the API is not recommended in production environments. Experimental APIs are not subject to the Semantic Versioning model.


This module is part of the AWS Cloud Development Kit project.

Supported:

  • Config rules

Not supported

  • Configuration recoder
  • Delivery channel
  • Aggregation

Rules

AWS managed rules

To set up a managed rule, define a ManagedRule and specify its identifier:

# Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
ManagedRule(self, "AccessKeysRotated",
    identifier="ACCESS_KEYS_ROTATED"
)

Available identifiers and parameters are listed in the List of AWS Config Managed Rules.

Higher level constructs for managed rules are available, see Managed Rules. Prefer to use those constructs when available (PRs welcome to add more of those).

Custom rules

To set up a custom rule, define a CustomRule and specify the Lambda Function to run and the trigger types:

# Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
CustomRule(self, "CustomRule",
    lambda_function=my_fn,
    configuration_changes=True,
    periodic=True
)

Restricting the scope

By default rules are triggered by changes to all resources. Use the scopeToResource(), scopeToResources() or scopeToTag() methods to restrict the scope of both managed and custom rules:

# Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
ssh_rule = ManagedRule(self, "SSH",
    identifier="INCOMING_SSH_DISABLED"
)

# Restrict to a specific security group
rule.scope_to_resource("AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup", "sg-1234567890abcdefgh")

custom_rule = CustomRule(self, "CustomRule",
    lambda_function=my_fn,
    configuration_changes=True
)

# Restrict to a specific tag
custom_rule.scope_to_tag("Cost Center", "MyApp")

Only one type of scope restriction can be added to a rule (the last call to scopeToXxx() sets the scope).

Events

To define Amazon CloudWatch event rules, use the onComplianceChange() or onReEvaluationStatus() methods:

# Example automatically generated without compilation. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
rule = CloudFormationStackDriftDetectionCheck(self, "Drift")
rule.on_compliance_change("TopicEvent",
    target=targets.SnsTopic(topic)
)

Example

Creating custom and managed rules with scope restriction and events:

# Example automatically generated. See https://github.com/aws/jsii/issues/826
# A custom rule that runs on configuration changes of EC2 instances
fn = lambda.Function(self, "CustomFunction",
    code=lambda.AssetCode.from_inline("exports.handler = (event) => console.log(event);"),
    handler="index.handler",
    runtime=lambda.Runtime.NODEJS_10_X
)

custom_rule = config.CustomRule(self, "Custom",
    configuration_changes=True,
    lambda_function=fn
)

custom_rule.scope_to_resource("AWS::EC2::Instance")

# A rule to detect stacks drifts
drift_rule = config.CloudFormationStackDriftDetectionCheck(self, "Drift")

# Topic for compliance events
compliance_topic = sns.Topic(self, "ComplianceTopic")

# Send notification on compliance change
drift_rule.on_compliance_change("ComplianceChange",
    target=targets.SnsTopic(compliance_topic)
)
