End-of-Support

AWS CDK v1 has reached End-of-Support on 2023-06-01. This package is no longer being updated, and users should migrate to AWS CDK v2.

For more information on how to migrate, see the Migrating to AWS CDK v2 guide.


DNS Firewall

With Route 53 Resolver DNS Firewall, you can filter and regulate outbound DNS traffic for your virtual private connections (VPCs). To do this, you create reusable collections of filtering rules in DNS Firewall rule groups and associate the rule groups to your VPC.

DNS Firewall provides protection for outbound DNS requests from your VPCs. These requests route through Resolver for domain name resolution. A primary use of DNS Firewall protections is to help prevent DNS exfiltration of your data. DNS exfiltration can happen when a bad actor compromises an application instance in your VPC and then uses DNS lookup to send data out of the VPC to a domain that they control. With DNS Firewall, you can monitor and control the domains that your applications can query. You can deny access to the domains that you know to be bad and allow all other queries to pass through. Alternately, you can deny access to all domains except for the ones that you explicitly trust.

Domain lists

Domain lists can be created using a list of strings, a text file stored in Amazon S3 or a local text file:

 FirewallDomainList blockList = FirewallDomainList.Builder.create(this, "BlockList")
         .domains(FirewallDomains.fromList(List.of("bad-domain.com", "bot-domain.net")))
         .build();
 
 FirewallDomainList s3List = FirewallDomainList.Builder.create(this, "S3List")
         .domains(FirewallDomains.fromS3Url("s3://bucket/prefix/object"))
         .build();
 
 FirewallDomainList assetList = FirewallDomainList.Builder.create(this, "AssetList")
         .domains(FirewallDomains.fromAsset("/path/to/domains.txt"))
         .build();
 

The file must be a text file and must contain a single domain per line.

Use FirewallDomainList.fromFirewallDomainListId() to import an existing or AWS managed domain list:

 // AWSManagedDomainsMalwareDomainList in us-east-1
 IFirewallDomainList malwareList = FirewallDomainList.fromFirewallDomainListId(this, "Malware", "rslvr-fdl-2c46f2ecbfec4dcc");
 

Rule group

Create a rule group:

 FirewallDomainList myBlockList;
 
 FirewallRuleGroup.Builder.create(this, "RuleGroup")
         .rules(List.of(FirewallRule.builder()
                 .priority(10)
                 .firewallDomainList(myBlockList)
                 // block and reply with NODATA
                 .action(FirewallRuleAction.block())
                 .build()))
         .build();
 

Rules can be added at construction time or using addRule():

 FirewallDomainList myBlockList;
 FirewallRuleGroup ruleGroup;
 
 
 ruleGroup.addRule(FirewallRule.builder()
         .priority(10)
         .firewallDomainList(myBlockList)
         // block and reply with NXDOMAIN
         .action(FirewallRuleAction.block(DnsBlockResponse.nxDomain()))
         .build());
 
 ruleGroup.addRule(FirewallRule.builder()
         .priority(20)
         .firewallDomainList(myBlockList)
         // block and override DNS response with a custom domain
         .action(FirewallRuleAction.block(DnsBlockResponse.override("amazon.com")))
         .build());
 

Use associate() to associate a rule group with a VPC:

 import software.amazon.awscdk.services.ec2.*;
 
 FirewallRuleGroup ruleGroup;
 Vpc myVpc;
 
 
 ruleGroup.associate("Association", FirewallRuleGroupAssociationOptions.builder()
         .priority(101)
         .vpc(myVpc)
         .build());
