Domain auto renew remediation

Using Console

Using CLI

To remediate the misconfiguration of AWS Route 53 Auto Renew not being enabled, you can follow these steps using AWS CLI:

Open the AWS CLI on your local machine or EC2 instance.
Run the following command to enable the automatic renewal of Route 53 hosted zones:

aws route53 update-hosted-zone --hosted-zone-id <hosted-zone-id> --auto-renew

Note: Replace <hosted-zone-id> with the ID of the hosted zone for which you want to enable auto-renewal.

Verify that the auto-renewal is enabled by running the following command:

aws route53 get-hosted-zone --id <hosted-zone-id>

Note: Replace <hosted-zone-id> with the ID of the hosted zone for which you enabled auto-renewal.

In the output, look for the AutoRenew parameter. If it is set to true, then auto-renewal is enabled for the hosted zone.

That’s it! You have successfully remediated the misconfiguration of AWS Route 53 Auto Renew not being enabled using AWS CLI.

Using Python

To remediate the misconfiguration “AWS Route 53 Auto Renew Should Be Enabled” using Python, you can follow the below steps:Step 1: Import the necessary libraries and set up the AWS credentials using the boto3 library.

import boto3

session = boto3.Session(
    aws_access_key_id='YOUR_ACCESS_KEY',
    aws_secret_access_key='YOUR_SECRET_KEY',
    region_name='YOUR_REGION'
)

client = session.client('route53')

Step 2: Get the list of hosted zones using the list_hosted_zones method.

response = client.list_hosted_zones()

Step 3: For each hosted zone, check if the AutoRenew flag is set to true. If not, update the hosted zone using the update_hosted_zone_comment method.

for hosted_zone in response['HostedZones']:
    hosted_zone_id = hosted_zone['Id'].split('/')[-1]
    hosted_zone_details = client.get_hosted_zone(Id=hosted_zone_id)
    if not hosted_zone_details['HostedZone']['AutoRenew']:
        client.update_hosted_zone_comment(
            Id=hosted_zone_id,
            Comment='AutoRenew enabled'
        )

Step 4: Verify that the AutoRenew flag is set to true for all hosted zones.

response = client.list_hosted_zones()
for hosted_zone in response['HostedZones']:
    hosted_zone_id = hosted_zone['Id'].split('/')[-1]
    hosted_zone_details = client.get_hosted_zone(Id=hosted_zone_id)
    if not hosted_zone_details['HostedZone']['AutoRenew']:
        print(f"AutoRenew not enabled for hosted zone: {hosted_zone_id}")

With the above steps, you should be able to remediate the “AWS Route 53 Auto Renew Should Be Enabled” misconfiguration using Python.
