Control: 57 VPCs should be configured with an interface endpoint for Systems Manager

Description

This control checks whether a virtual private cloud (VPC) that you manage has an interface VPC endpoint for AWS Systems Manager. The control fails if the VPC doesn't have an interface VPC endpoint for Systems Manager. This control evaluates resources in a single account.

AWS PrivateLink enables customers to access services hosted on AWS in a highly available and scalable manner, while keeping all the network traffic within the AWS network. Service users can privately access services powered by PrivateLink from their VPC or their on-premises, without using public IPs, and without requiring traffic to traverse across the internet.

Remediation

To configure a VPC endpoint, see Access an AWS service using an interface VPC endpoint in the AWS PrivateLink Guide.

Usage

Run the control in your terminal:

powerpipe control run aws_compliance.control.foundational_security_ec2_57

Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:

powerpipe login
powerpipe control run aws_compliance.control.foundational_security_ec2_57 --share

SQL

This control uses a named query:

with vpc_endpoints as (
  select distinct
    vpc_id
  from
    aws_vpc_endpoint
  where
    service_name  like 'com.amazonaws.' || region || '.ssm'
)
select
  v.arn as resource,
  case
    when e.vpc_id is null then 'alarm'
    else 'ok'
  end as status,
  case
    when e.vpc_id is null then v.title || ' not configured to use interface endpoint for SSM.'
    else v.title || ' configured to use interface endpoint for SSM.'
  end as reason
  
  , region, account_id
from
  aws_vpc v left join vpc_endpoints e using (vpc_id);
