If you want to use an external S3 bucket, the bucket needs to have the following S3 bucket policy:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [{
    "Sid": "AWSCloudTrailAclCheck",
    "Effect": "Allow",
    "Principal": {
      "Service": "cloudtrail.amazonaws.com"
    },
    "Action": "s3:GetBucketAcl",
    "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::$ExternalTrailBucket"
  }, {
    "Sid": "AWSCloudTrailWrite",
    "Effect": "Allow",
    "Principal": {
      "Service": "cloudtrail.amazonaws.com"
    },
    "Action": "s3:PutObject",
    "Resource": [
      "arn:aws:s3:::$ExternalTrailBucket/AWSLogs/$AccountId[0]/*",
      "arn:aws:s3:::$ExternalTrailBucket/AWSLogs/$AccountId[1]/*",
      "arn:aws:s3:::$ExternalTrailBucket/AWSLogs/$AccountId[2]/*"
    ],

      "StringEquals": {
        "s3:x-amz-acl": "bucket-owner-full-control"
      }
    }
  }]
}

Replace $ExternalTrailBucket with the name of your bucket, and add a row for every account you want to write from $AccountId[*].

KMS customer managed CMK for AWS services

This template provides a KMS customer managed CMK used by AWS services. Access control via IAM is also enabled. In case of a CMK deletion, a event is forwarded to the ParentAlertStack (if specified).

ATTENTION: If you delete a stack based on this template, the KMS CMK is NOT deleted to prevent data loss! Mark the CMK for deletion if you really want to delete the CMK! All resources encrypted with the CMK (including RDS snapshots) are unusable after the deletion!

Installation Guide

  1. Launch Stack
  2. Click Next to proceed with the next step of the wizard.
  3. Specify a name and all parameters for the stack.
  4. Click Next to proceed with the next step of the wizard.
  5. Click Next to skip the Options step of the wizard.
  6. Click Create to start the creation of the stack.
  7. Wait until the stack reaches the state CREATE_COMPLETE

If you have an existing KMS customer managed CMK you can wrap it into our required form using a legacy KMS customer managed CMK wrapper: Launch Stack

Dependencies

  • operations/alert.yaml (recommended)
