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

In this guide, we will configure AWS EBS encryption by default using Pulumi. This ensures that all new EBS volumes created in your AWS account are encrypted by default. We will use the aws.ebs.EncryptionByDefault resource from the Pulumi AWS provider.

Key Points

• We will enable EBS encryption by default.
• This configuration will apply to all new EBS volumes created in the account.
• We will use the Pulumi AWS provider to manage this resource.

Let’s get started with the code:

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 status of EBS encryption by default
export const encryptionEnabled = ebsEncryptionByDefault.enabled;

Conclusion

In this example, we enabled EBS encryption by default for all new EBS volumes in an AWS account using Pulumi. This ensures that all new volumes are encrypted, enhancing the security of your data. The aws.ebs.EncryptionByDefault resource was used to achieve this configuration.
