  2. Enable AWS EBS Encryption by Default

How do I enable AWS EBS encryption by default using Pulumi?

To enable AWS EBS encryption by default using Pulumi, you will use the aws.ebs.EncryptionByDefault resource. This configuration will ensure that all newly created EBS volumes are encrypted by default. Below is the Pulumi program written in TypeScript to achieve this setup.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

// Enable EBS encryption by default
const ebsEncryptionByDefault = new aws.ebs.EncryptionByDefault("ebsEncryptionByDefault", {
    enabled: true,
});

// Export the result
export const encryptionEnabled = ebsEncryptionByDefault.enabled;

Key Points:

  • We import the necessary Pulumi and AWS packages.
  • We create an aws.ebs.EncryptionByDefault resource to enable encryption by default for EBS volumes.
  • We export the enabled property to verify that encryption is enabled.

Summary:

In this guide, we enabled AWS EBS encryption by default using Pulumi. This ensures that all new EBS volumes created in your AWS account are encrypted by default, enhancing the security of your data at rest.
