Rule Development Kit Library for AWS Config

RDKlib

RDKlib is a Python library to enable you to run custom AWS Config Rules at scale. The library can be used to:

• Help you to focus only on the compliance logic, while the library does the heavy lifting
• Ease maintenance by moving the boilerplate code as a AWS Lambda Layer
• Ease deployment by using AWS Serverless Application Repository

RDKLib works in synergy with the AWS Config Rule Development Kit.

Getting Started

Install the library locally

pip install rdklib

Create a rule using the RDK

The runtime of your RDK rule have to be set to python3.11-lib in the RDK to provide you the Rule template.

• For periodic trigger:

    rdk create YOUR_RULE_NAME --runtime python3.11-lib --maximum-frequency TwentyFour_Hours

• For configuration change trigger (for example S3 Bucket):

    rdk create YOUR_RULE_NAME --runtime python3.11-lib --resource-types AWS::S3::Bucket

Note: you need to install the RDK first.

Deploy your rule with RDKlib layer

RDKLib is designed to work as a AWS Lambda Layer. It allows you to use the library without needing to include it in your deployment package.

1. Install RDKlib layer (with AWS CLI)

    aws serverlessrepo create-cloud-formation-change-set --application-id arn:aws:serverlessrepo:ap-southeast-1:711761543063:applications/rdklib --stack-name RDKlib-Layer

    # Copy/paste the full change-set ARN to customize the following command
    aws cloudformation execute-change-set --change-set-name NAME_OF_THE_CHANGE_SET

    aws cloudformation describe-stack-resources --stack-name serverlessrepo-RDKlib-Layer
    # Copy the ARN of the Lambda layer in the "PhysicalResourceId" key (i.e. arn:aws:lambda:YOUR_REGION:YOUR_ACCOUNT:layer:rdklib-layer:1).

Note: You can do the same step manually going to https://console.aws.amazon.com/lambda/home#/create/function?tab=serverlessApps and find "rdklib"

1. Deploy the rule

    rdk deploy YOUR_RULE_NAME --rdklib-layer-arn YOUR_RDKLIB_LAYER_ARN
