Config referencing missing s3 bucket remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate this misconfiguration in AWS using AWS CLI, you can follow the below steps:

First, you need to install and configure the AWS CLI on your local machine.
Once the AWS CLI is installed, you need to run the following command to enable AWS Config in your AWS account:

aws configservice put-configuration-recorder --configuration-recorder name=default --recording-group allSupported=true --recording-group includeGlobalResourceTypes=true

After enabling AWS Config, you need to create an S3 bucket to store the AWS Config snapshots. You can use the following command to create an S3 bucket:

aws s3api create-bucket --bucket <bucket-name> --region <region-name>

Note: Replace <bucket-name> and <region-name> with your desired values.

Once the S3 bucket is created, you need to configure AWS Config to use this bucket. You can use the following command to configure AWS Config:

aws configservice put-delivery-channel --delivery-channel '{"name":"default","s3BucketName":"<bucket-name>","s3KeyPrefix":"AWSConfig","snsTopicARN":""}'

Note: Replace <bucket-name> with the name of the S3 bucket you created in step 3.

Finally, you need to start the AWS Config recorder by running the following command:

aws configservice start-configuration-recorder --configuration-recorder-name default

After following these steps, AWS Config will be properly configured to monitor and record changes to your AWS resources.

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration of AWS Config not having S3 bucket configured, you can follow these steps using Python:

Create an S3 bucket in the desired region where you want to store the AWS Config data. You can use the following Python code to create an S3 bucket:

import boto3

s3 = boto3.client('s3')
response = s3.create_bucket(Bucket='my-aws-config-bucket', CreateBucketConfiguration={'LocationConstraint': 'us-east-1'})

Once the S3 bucket is created, you can configure AWS Config to use this S3 bucket as the delivery channel for the configuration data. You can use the following Python code to configure AWS Config:

import boto3

config = boto3.client('config')

response = config.put_delivery_channel(
    DeliveryChannel={
        'name': 'my-aws-config-delivery-channel',
        's3BucketName': 'my-aws-config-bucket',
        'configSnapshotDeliveryProperties': {
            'deliveryFrequency': 'Six_Hours'
        }
    }
)

Verify that the AWS Config is properly configured by checking the AWS Config dashboard. You should see the S3 bucket as the delivery channel for the configuration data.

With these steps, you have successfully remediated the misconfiguration of AWS Config not having S3 bucket configured.
