  2. Deploy AWS Elastic Beanstalk with Amazon Inspector Integration

How do I deploy AWS Elastic Beanstalk with Amazon Inspector integration?

In this guide, we will deploy an AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment and integrate it with Amazon Inspector using Pulumi. AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that allows you to deploy and manage applications, while Amazon Inspector is a security assessment service that helps identify potential security vulnerabilities in your AWS environment.

Key Points

  • AWS Elastic Beanstalk: A service for deploying and scaling web applications.
  • Amazon Inspector: A service for automated security assessment.
  • Pulumi: An infrastructure as code tool to deploy and manage cloud resources.

Steps

  1. Create an Elastic Beanstalk Application: Define an application and environment.
  2. Configure Amazon Inspector: Set up an assessment target and template to scan the Elastic Beanstalk environment.
import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

// Create an Elastic Beanstalk Application
const app = new aws.elasticbeanstalk.Application("my-app", {
    description: "My Elastic Beanstalk application",
});

// Create an Elastic Beanstalk Environment
const env = new aws.elasticbeanstalk.Environment("my-env", {
    application: app.name,
    solutionStackName: "64bit Amazon Linux 2 v3.3.6 running Node.js 14",
    settings: [
        {
            namespace: "aws:autoscaling:launchconfiguration",
            name: "InstanceType",
            value: "t2.micro",
        },
    ],
});

// Create an Amazon Inspector Assessment Target
const assessmentTarget = new aws.inspector.AssessmentTarget("my-assessment-target", {
    resourceGroupArn: new aws.inspector.ResourceGroup("my-resource-group", {
        tags: {
            Environment: env.name,
        },
    }).arn,
});

// Create an Amazon Inspector Assessment Template
const assessmentTemplate = new aws.inspector.AssessmentTemplate("my-assessment-template", {
    duration: 3600, // 1 hour
    rulesPackageArns: [
        "arn:aws:inspector:us-west-2:758058086616:rulespackage/0-Xf7zF9mZ",
        "arn:aws:inspector:us-west-2:758058086616:rulespackage/0-nHf7zF9mZ",
    ],
    targetArn: assessmentTarget.arn,
});

// Export the URL of the Elastic Beanstalk environment
export const environmentUrl = pulumi.interpolate`http://${env.endpointUrl}`;

Summary

In this guide, we created an AWS Elastic Beanstalk application and environment using Pulumi. We then set up Amazon Inspector to perform automated security assessments on the Elastic Beanstalk environment. This integration helps ensure that your application is secure and compliant with best practices.
