Control: Amazon Aurora clusters should have backtracking enabled

Description

This control checks whether Amazon Aurora clusters have backtracking enabled. Backups help you to recover more quickly from a security incident. They also strengthen the resilience of your systems. Aurora backtracking reduces the time to recover a database to a point in time. It does not require a database restore to do so.

Usage

Run the control in your terminal:

powerpipe control run terraform_aws_compliance.control.rds_db_cluster_aurora_backtracking_enabled

Snapshot and share results via Turbot Pipes:

powerpipe login
powerpipe control run terraform_aws_compliance.control.rds_db_cluster_aurora_backtracking_enabled --share

SQL

This control uses a named query:

select
  address as resource,
  case
    when (attributes_std ->> 'engine') not like any (array ['%aurora%', '%aurora-mysql%']) then 'skip'
    when (attributes_std -> 'backtrack_window') is not null then 'ok'
    else 'alarm'
  end as status,
  split_part(address, '.', 2) || case
    when (attributes_std ->> 'engine') not like any (array ['%aurora%', '%aurora-mysql%']) then ' not Aurora MySQL-compatible edition'
    when (attributes_std -> 'backtrack_window') is not null then ' backtracking enabled'
    else ' backtracking disabled'
  end || '.' as reason
  
  , path || ':' || start_line
from
  terraform_resource
where
  type = 'aws_rds_cluster';
