Creating frameworks using the AWS Backup console
After turning on resource tracking, create a framework using the following steps.
Open the AWS Backup console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/backup
. -
In the left navigation pane, choose Frameworks.
-
Choose Create Framework.
-
For Framework name, enter a unique name. The framework name must be between 1 and 256 characters, starting with a letter, and consisting of letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), and underscores (_).
-
(Optional) Enter a Framework description.
-
In Controls, your active controls will be displayed. By default, all controls eligible for a resource are listed.
To change which controls are active, click Edit controls.
The first check box indicates if the control is turned on. To turn off a control, uncheck the box.
Under Choose resources to evaluate, you can select how to choose resources, either by type, by tags, or by a single resource.
The list of AWS Backup Audit Manager controls describes the customization options for each control.
-
(Optional) Tag your framework by choosing Add new tag. You can use tags to search and filter your frameworks or track your costs.
-
Choose Create framework.
AWS Backup Audit Manager might take several minutes to create the framework.
If the error AlreadyExists
occurs, a framework with the same
controls and parameters already exists. To successfully create a new framework, at least
one control or parameter must be different from existing frameworks.
