Internet gateway authorized vpc only remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the misconfiguration of an Internet Gateway being attached to unauthorized Virtual Private Clouds in AWS using AWS CLI, follow these steps:

List all the Internet Gateways in your AWS account:

aws ec2 describe-internet-gateways

Identify the Internet Gateway that is attached to unauthorized Virtual Private Clouds.
Detach the Internet Gateway from the unauthorized Virtual Private Cloud:

aws ec2 detach-internet-gateway --internet-gateway-id <internet-gateway-id> --vpc-id <unauthorized-vpc-id>

Replace <internet-gateway-id> with the ID of the Internet Gateway and <unauthorized-vpc-id> with the ID of the unauthorized Virtual Private Cloud.

Confirm that the Internet Gateway is detached from the unauthorized Virtual Private Cloud by listing the Internet Gateway attachments:

aws ec2 describe-internet-gateways --internet-gateway-ids <internet-gateway-id>

If needed, delete the Internet Gateway:

aws ec2 delete-internet-gateway --internet-gateway-id <internet-gateway-id>

Replace <internet-gateway-id> with the ID of the Internet Gateway.By following these steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration of an Internet Gateway being attached to unauthorized Virtual Private Clouds in AWS using AWS CLI.

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration of an Internet Gateway being attached to an unauthorized Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in AWS using Python, you can follow these steps:

Install the Boto3 library: Boto3 is the AWS SDK for Python and allows you to interact with AWS services. You can install it using pip with the following command:
```
pip install boto3
```
Use the following Python script to detach the Internet Gateway from the unauthorized VPC and attach it to the correct VPC:

import boto3

# Initialize the EC2 client
ec2_client = boto3.client('ec2')

# Define the IDs of the unauthorized VPC and the correct VPC
unauthorized_vpc_id = 'YOUR_UNAUTHORIZED_VPC_ID'
correct_vpc_id = 'YOUR_CORRECT_VPC_ID'

# Get the Internet Gateway ID attached to the unauthorized VPC
response = ec2_client.describe_internet_gateways(Filters=[{'Name': 'attachment.vpc-id', 'Values': [unauthorized_vpc_id]}])
igw_id = response['InternetGateways'][0]['InternetGatewayId']

# Detach the Internet Gateway from the unauthorized VPC
ec2_client.detach_internet_gateway(InternetGatewayId=igw_id, VpcId=unauthorized_vpc_id)

# Attach the Internet Gateway to the correct VPC
ec2_client.attach_internet_gateway(InternetGatewayId=igw_id, VpcId=correct_vpc_id)

print('Internet Gateway has been successfully attached to the correct VPC.')

Replace 'YOUR_UNAUTHORIZED_VPC_ID' and 'YOUR_CORRECT_VPC_ID' with the actual IDs of the unauthorized VPC and the correct VPC, respectively.
Run the Python script. This script will detach the Internet Gateway from the unauthorized VPC and attach it to the correct VPC.

By following these steps, you can remediate the misconfiguration of an Internet Gateway being attached to an unauthorized VPC in AWS using Python.
