Pattern: Disabled encryption for AWS Athena

Issue: -

Description

Athena databases and workspace result sets should be encrypted at rests. These databases and query sets are generally derived from data in S3 buckets and should have the same level of at rest protection.

Resolution: Enable encryption at rest for Athena databases and workgroup configurations.

Examples

Example of incorrect code:

resource "aws_athena_database" "bad_example" {
  name   = "database_name"
  bucket = aws_s3_bucket.hoge.bucket
}

resource "aws_athena_workgroup" "bad_example" {
  name = "example"

  configuration {
    enforce_workgroup_configuration    = true
    publish_cloudwatch_metrics_enabled = true

    result_configuration {
      output_location = "s3://${aws_s3_bucket.example.bucket}/output/"
    }
  }
}

Example of correct code:

resource "aws_athena_database" "good_example" {
  name   = "database_name"
  bucket = aws_s3_bucket.hoge.bucket

  encryption_configuration {
     encryption_option = "SSE_KMS"
     kms_key_arn       = aws_kms_key.example.arn
 }
}

resource "aws_athena_workgroup" "good_example" {
  name = "example"

  configuration {
    enforce_workgroup_configuration    = true
    publish_cloudwatch_metrics_enabled = true

    result_configuration {
      output_location = "s3://${aws_s3_bucket.example.bucket}/output/"

      encryption_configuration {
        encryption_option = "SSE_KMS"
        kms_key_arn       = aws_kms_key.example.arn
      }
    }
  }
