Documentation

README

Ensure Only Approved Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) are Used

Description

Ensure that all base AMIs utilized are approved for use by your organization.

Rationale

An approved AMI is a base EC2 machine image that is a pre-configured OS configured to run your application. Using approved AMIs helps enforce consistency and security.

Impact

Instances running on unapproved AMIs may need to be replaced with instances built from approved AMIs, which could cause temporary service disruption.

Audit Procedure

Using AWS CLI

No specific CLI audit command is provided for this control. Use the console method to manually verify AMI approval status.

Using AWS Console

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
