Pattern: Disabled disk encryption for AWS WorkSpace

Issue: -

Description

WorkSpace volumes for both user and root should be encrypted to protect the data stored on them.

Resolution: Root and user volume encryption should be enabled.

Examples

Example of incorrect code:

resource "aws_workspaces_workspace" "bad_example" {
	directory_id = aws_workspaces_directory.test.id
	bundle_id    = data.aws_workspaces_bundle.value_windows_10.id
	user_name    = "Administrator"
  
	workspace_properties {
	  compute_type_name                         = "VALUE"
	  user_volume_size_gib                      = 10
	  root_volume_size_gib                      = 80
	  running_mode                              = "AUTO_STOP"
	  running_mode_auto_stop_timeout_in_minutes = 60
	}
  }

Example of correct code:

resource "aws_workspaces_workspace" "good_example" {
		directory_id 				   = aws_workspaces_directory.test.id
		bundle_id    				   = data.aws_workspaces_bundle.value_windows_10.id
		user_name    				   = "Administrator"
		root_volume_encryption_enabled = true
		user_volume_encryption_enabled = true
	  
		workspace_properties {
		  compute_type_name                         = "VALUE"
		  user_volume_size_gib                      = 10
		  root_volume_size_gib                      = 80
		  running_mode                              = "AUTO_STOP"
		  running_mode_auto_stop_timeout_in_minutes = 60
		}
