Description
EBS volume snapshots may contain sensitive or private data. Encryption of backups should be enabled to protect data from theft or other malicious activity.
How to fix?
Add or update the aws_ebs_volume attribute encrypted and set it to true to ensure the aws_ebs_snapshot is encrypted.
Example Configuration
resource "aws_ebs_volume" "volume1" {
availability_zone = "us-east-1a"
size = 40
encrypted = true
tags {
Name = "volume1"
}
}
resource "aws_ebs_snapshot" "snapshot1" {
volume_id = "${aws_ebs_volume.volume1.id}"
tags = {
Name = "snapshot1"
}
}
