[Keyspaces.1] Amazon Keyspaces keyspaces should be tagged
Category: Identify > Inventory > Tagging
Severity: Low
Resource type:
AWS::Cassandra::Keyspace
AWS Config rule: cassandra-keyspace-tagged
Schedule type: Change triggered
Parameters:
| Parameter | Description | Type | Allowed custom values | Security Hub default value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
requiredKeyTags
|
List of non-system tag keys that the evaluated resource must contain. Tag keys are case sensitive. | StringList | List of tags that meet AWS requirements | No default value |
This control checks whether an Amazon Keyspaces keyspace has tags with the specific keys defined in the parameter
requiredKeyTags. The control fails if the keyspace doesn’t have any tag keys or if it doesn’t have all the keys specified in the
parameter requiredKeyTags. If the parameter requiredKeyTags isn't provided, the control only checks for the existence
of a tag key and fails if the keyspace isn't tagged with any key. System tags, which are automatically applied and begin with aws:,
are ignored.
A tag is a label that you assign to an AWS resource, and it consists of a key and an optional value. You can create tags to categorize resources by purpose, owner, environment, or other criteria. Tags can help you identify, organize, search for, and filter resources. Tagging also helps you track accountable resource owners for actions and notifications. When you use tagging, you can implement attribute-based access control (ABAC) as an authorization strategy, which defines permissions based on tags. You can attach tags to IAM entities (users or roles) and to AWS resources. You can create a single ABAC policy or a separate set of policies for your IAM principals. You can design these ABAC policies to allow operations when the principal's tag matches the resource tag. For more information, see Define permissions based on attributes with ABAC authorization in the IAM User Guide.
Note
Don’t add personally identifiable information (PII) or other confidential or sensitive information in tags. Tags are accessible to many AWS services, including AWS Billing. For more tagging best practices, see Best practices and strategies in the Tagging AWS Resources and Tag Editor User Guide.
Remediation
To add tags to an Amazon Keyspaces keyspace, see Add tags to a keyspace in the Amazon Keyspaces Developer Guide.
