Node-to-Node Encryption Should Be Enabled OpenSearch Service Domains
More Info:
This rule checks whether Amazon OpenSearch Service nodes are encrypted end-to-end. Node-to-node encryption ensures that communication between nodes within the OpenSearch domain is encrypted, enhancing the security of data transmission. The rule is marked as non-compliant if node-to-node encryption is not enabled on the domain.

Triage and Remediation
Remediation
To remediate the misconfiguration of Node-to-Node Encryption not being enabled on an AWS OpenSearch Service domain, you can follow these step-by-step instructions using the AWS Management Console:
-
Navigate to AWS OpenSearch Service Console:
- Go to the AWS Management Console (https://console.aws.amazon.com/)
- In the “Find services” search bar, type “OpenSearch Service” and select it from the dropdown.
-
Select the OpenSearch Service Domain:
- From the list of OpenSearch Service domains, select the domain for which you want to enable Node-to-Node Encryption.
-
Enable Node-to-Node Encryption:
- In the domain dashboard, click on the domain name to go to the domain details page.
- In the left-hand navigation pane, click on the “Configure domain” tab.
-
Edit the Security Configuration:
- Scroll down to the “Security” section and click on the “Edit” button next to the “Node-to-Node Encryption” setting.
-
Enable Node-to-Node Encryption:
- Toggle the switch to enable Node-to-Node Encryption.
- You may also have the option to provide a custom encryption key or use the default AWS managed key.
-
Save Changes:
- Once you have enabled Node-to-Node Encryption, click on the “Save changes” button to apply the configuration.
-
Verify Node-to-Node Encryption:
- To ensure that Node-to-Node Encryption is successfully enabled, you can check the domain status or perform a test query to confirm the encryption is in place.
-
Monitor the Domain:
- After enabling Node-to-Node Encryption, monitor the domain for any issues and ensure that all nodes are communicating securely.
By following these steps, you can successfully remediate the misconfiguration of Node-to-Node Encryption not being enabled on an AWS OpenSearch Service domain using the AWS Management Console.
To remediate the misconfiguration of enabling Node-to-Node Encryption for AWS OpenSearch Service domains using AWS CLI, you can follow these steps:
-
Enable Node-to-Node Encryption:
Run the following AWS CLI command to enable Node-to-Node encryption for your OpenSearch Service domain:
aws opensearchservice update-domain-config --domain-name YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME --node-to-node-encryption-options Enabled=trueReplace
YOUR_DOMAIN_NAMEwith the name of your OpenSearch Service domain. -
Verify Node-to-Node Encryption:
You can verify that Node-to-Node encryption is enabled for your OpenSearch Service domain by describing the domain configuration:
aws opensearchservice describe-domain-config --domain-name YOUR_DOMAIN_NAMEEnsure that the
NodeToNodeEncryptionOptionsparameter showsEnabled: true. -
Monitor the Configuration:
It is recommended to monitor the OpenSearch Service domain for any issues after enabling Node-to-Node encryption to ensure that the domain continues to function properly.
By following these steps, you can successfully remediate the misconfiguration of enabling Node-to-Node Encryption for AWS OpenSearch Service domains using the AWS CLI.
To remediate the misconfiguration of enabling Node-to-Node Encryption for AWS OpenSearch Service domains using Python, you can utilize the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) to update the domain configuration. Here are the step-by-step instructions to remediate this issue:
- Install Boto3: Ensure you have Boto3 installed in your Python environment. You can install it using pip:
pip install boto3
- Update OpenSearch Domain Configuration: Create a Python script with the following code to update the OpenSearch domain configuration to enable Node-to-Node Encryption:
import boto3
def update_opensearch_domain_config(domain_name):
client = boto3.client('es')
response = client.update_elasticsearch_domain_config(
DomainName=domain_name,
NodeToNodeEncryptionOptions={
'Enabled': True
}
)
print(f"Node-to-Node Encryption enabled for OpenSearch domain {domain_name}")
# Replace 'your-opensearch-domain-name' with the actual OpenSearch domain name
update_opensearch_domain_config('your-opensearch-domain-name')
-
Configure AWS Credentials: Ensure that your AWS credentials are properly configured either through environment variables, AWS CLI configuration, or IAM roles.
-
Run the Python Script: Execute the Python script you created in step 2. This script will update the specified OpenSearch domain configuration to enable Node-to-Node Encryption.
After running the script, the Node-to-Node Encryption should be successfully enabled for the specified AWS OpenSearch Service domain.
