Ensure Consistent Naming Convention is used for Organizational AMI
Description
The naming convention for AMI (Amazon Machine Images) should be documented and followed for any AMI's created.
Rationale
The majority of AWS resources can be named and tagged. Most organizations have already created standardize naming conventions, and have existing rules in effect. They simply need to extend that for all AWS cloud resources to include Amazon Machine Images (AMI).
Impact
No significant operational impact. This is an organizational best practice that improves manageability and consistency of AMI resources.
Audit Procedure
Using AWS CLI
- Run aws ec2 describe-images.
aws ec2 describe-images --owner self --region us-west-2
