Upgrading Notes

This document captures required refactoring on your part when upgrading to a module version that contains breaking changes.

Upgrading to v4.0.0

Warning

Read the diagram in PR 210 and the guide below! If you currently have EKS Runtime Monitoring enabled, you need to perform MANUAL steps after you have migrated to this version.

Behaviour

Using the default aws_guardduty values:

EKS_RUNTIME_MONITORING gets removed from the state (but not disabled)
RUNTIME_MONITORING is enabled including ECS_FARGATE_AGENT_MANAGEMENT, EC2_AGENT_MANAGEMENT, and EKS_ADDON_MANAGEMENT.
Minimum required AWS provider has been set to v5.54.0, and minimum required Terraform version has been set to v1.6.

Variables

The following variables have been replaced:

aws_guardduty.eks_runtime_monitoring_status -> aws_guardduty.runtime_monitoring_status.enabled
aws_guardduty.eks_addon_management_status -> aws_guardduty.runtime_monitoring_status.eks_addon_management_status

The following variables have been introduced:

aws_guardduty.runtime_monitoring_status.ecs_fargate_agent_management_status
aws_guardduty.runtime_monitoring_status.ec2_agent_management_status

EKS Runtime Monitoring to Runtime Monitoring migration

The issue

After you upgraded to this version. RUNTIME_MONITORING is enabled. But EKS_RUNTIME_MONITORING is not disabled as is written in the guardduty_detector_feature documentation: Deleting this resource does not disable the detector feature, the resource in simply removed from state instead.

To prevent duplicated costs please disable EKS_RUNTIME_MONITORING manually after upgrading.

Important

Run all the commands with valid credentials in the AWS account where guardduty is delegated administrator. By default this is the control tower audit account. It's not possible to execute these steps from the AWS Console as the EKS Runtime Monitoring protection plan has already been removed from the GUI. The only way to control this feature is via the CLI.

Step 1: get the GuardDuty detector id

aws guardduty list-detectors

Should display:

{
    "DetectorIds": [
        "12abc34d567e8fa901bc2d34e56789f0"
    ]
}

Important

Ensure you run this command in the right region! If GuardDuty is enabled in multiple regions then execute all steps for all enabled regions.

Step 2: update the GuardDuty detector

Replace 12abc34d567e8fa901bc2d34e56789f0 with your own regional detector-id. Execute these commands in the audit account:

aws guardduty update-detector --detector-id 12abc34d567e8fa901bc2d34e56789f0 --features '[{"Name" : "EKS_RUNTIME_MONITORING", "Status" : "DISABLED"}]'

Step 3: update the GuardDuty organization settings

Replace the <<EXISTING_VALUE>> with your current configuration for auto-enabling GuardDuty. By default this should be set to ALL.

aws guardduty update-organization-configuration --detector-id 12abc34d567e8fa901bc2d34e56789f0 --auto-enable-organization-members <<EXISTING_VALUE>>  --features '[{"Name" : "EKS_RUNTIME_MONITORING", "AutoEnable": "NONE"}]'

Step 4: update the GuardDuty member accounts

Disable EKS Runtime Monitoring for all member accounts in your organization, for example:

aws guardduty update-member-detectors --detector-id 12abc34d567e8fa901bc2d34e56789f0 --account-ids 111122223333 --features '[{"Name" : "EKS_RUNTIME_MONITORING", "Status" : "DISABLED"}]'

Troubleshooting

An error occurred (BadRequestException) when calling the UpdateMemberDetectors operation: The request is rejected because a feature cannot be turned off for a member while organization has the feature flag set to 'All Accounts'.

Change these options on the AWS console by following the steps below:

Go to the GuardDuty Console.
On left navigation bar, under protection plans, select Runtime Monitoring.
Under the Configuration tab, in Runtime Monitoring configuration click Edit and here you need to select the option Configure accounts manually for Automated agent configuration - Amazon EKS.

Once complete, please allow a minute for the changes to update, you should now be able to execute the command from step 3. When you have executed this command for all AWS accounts, set this option back to Enable for all accounts.

Even after following all steps I still see the message Your organization has auto-enable preferences set for EKS Runtime Monitoring. This feature has been removed from console experience and can now be managed as part of the Runtime Monitoring feature. Learn more.

We have checked in with AWS and this behaviour is expected, this is a static message that is displayed currently on the AWS Management Console. AWS could not confirm how to hide this message or how long it will be visible.

Verification

Review the GuardDuty organization settings:

aws guardduty describe-organization-configuration --detector-id 12abc34d567e8fa901bc2d34e56789f0

Should display:

...
    "Features": [
...
        {
            "Name": "EKS_RUNTIME_MONITORING",
            "AutoEnable": "NONE",
            "AdditionalConfiguration": [
                {
                    "Name": "EKS_ADDON_MANAGEMENT",
                    "AutoEnable": "ALL"
                }
            ]
        },
...

Review the GuardDuty detector settings:

aws guardduty get-detector --detector-id 12abc34d567e8fa901bc2d34e56789f0

Should display:

...
 "Features": [
...
        {
            "Name": "EKS_RUNTIME_MONITORING",
            "Status": "DISABLED",
            "UpdatedAt": "2024-10-16T14:12:31+02:00",
            "AdditionalConfiguration": [
                {
                    "Name": "EKS_ADDON_MANAGEMENT",
                    "Status": "ENABLED",
                    "UpdatedAt": "2024-10-16T14:24:43+02:00"
                }
            ]
        },
...

Note

If you want to be really sure all member accounts have the right settings you can run the aws guardduty get-detector for member accounts as well. Ensure you have valid credentials for the member account and replace the detector-id with the GuardDuty detector-id of the member account.

Upgrading to v3.0.0

Behaviour

This version add Control Tower 3.x support. Upgrade to Control Tower 3.x before upgrading to this version.

Upgrading to v2.0.0

Behaviour

This version sets the minimum required aws provider version from v4 to v5.

Variables

The following variables have been replaced:

aws_guardduty.datasources.malware_protection -> aws_guardduty.ebs_malware_protection_status
aws_guardduty.datasources.kubernetes -> aws_guardduty.eks_audit_logs_status
aws_guardduty.datasources.s3_logs -> aws_guardduty.s3_data_events_status

The following variables have been introduced:

aws_guardduty.eks_addon_management_status
aws_guardduty.eks_runtime_monitoring_status
aws_guardduty.lambda_network_logs_status
aws_guardduty.rds_login_events_status

Upgrading to v1.0.0

Behaviour

In previous versions of this module, auto-enable default standards was enabled by default. From v1.0.0 this behaviour has been changed to disabled by default (controlled via var.aws_security_hub.auto_enable_default_standards) since the default standards are not updated regularly enough.

At time of writing only the AWS Foundational Security Best Practices v1.0.0 standard and the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark v1.2.0 are enabled by by default while this module enables the following standards:

AWS Foundational Security Best Practices v1.0.0
CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark v1.4.0
PCI DSS v3.2.1

The enabling of the standards in all member account is now controlled via mcaf-account-baseline.

Variables

The following variables have been replaced by a new variable aws_security_hub:

aws_security_hub_product_arns -> aws_security_hub.product_arns
security_hub_standards_arns -> aws_security_hub.standards_arns
security_hub_create_cis_metric_filters -> aws_security_hub.create_cis_metric_filters

Upgrading to v0.25.x

Version 0.25.x has added support for specifying a kms_key_id in the var.additional_auditing_trail. This variable is mandatory, if you already have additional cloudtrail configurations created using this variable encryption is now mandatory.

module "landing_zone"
...
  additional_auditing_trail = {
    name       = "audit-trail-name"
    bucket     = "audit-trail-s3-bucket-name"
    kms_key_id = "arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab"
  }
...
}

Upgrading to v0.24.x

Version 0.24.x changes the AWS nested providers to provider aliases. Define the providers outside the module and reference them when calling this module. For an example, see examples/basic.

Upgrading to v0.23.x

Version 0.23.x introduces a change in behaviour of AWS Config:

By default the aggregator_regions were set to eu-west-1 and eu-central-1, this has been changed to only enable the current region. Provide a list of regions to var.aws_config.aggregator_regions if you want to enable AWS Config in multiple regions.
Previously the aws-controltower-logs bucket was used to store CloudTrail and AWS Config logs, this version introduces a separate bucket for AWS Config. You are able to override the bucket name by setting var.aws_config.delivery_channel_s3_bucket_name.

Upgrading to v0.21.x

Version 0.21.x introduces exceptions for IAM entities on the DenyDisablingSecurityHub and DenyLeavingOrg SCP. The following variables have been merged into a new variable aws_service_control_policies:

aws_deny_disabling_security_hub
aws_deny_leaving_org
aws_deny_root_user_ous
aws_region_restrictions
aws_require_imdsv2

Upgrading to v0.20.x

Resources managing permission sets in AWS IAM Identity Center have been moved to a sub-module, meaning you will need to create moved blocks to update the state. The user interface remains unchanged.

To move the resources to their new locations in the state, create a moved.tf in your workspace and add the following for each managed permission set (assuming your module is called landing_zone):

moved {
  from = module.landing_zone.aws_ssoadmin_permission_set.default["<< PERMISSION SET NAME >>"]
  to   = module.landing_zone.module.aws_sso_permission_sets["<< PERMISSION SET NAME >>"].aws_ssoadmin_permission_set.default[0]
}

moved {
  from = module.landing_zone.aws_ssoadmin_permission_set_inline_policy.default["<< PERMISSION SET NAME >>"]
  to   = module.landing_zone.module.aws_sso_permission_sets["<< PERMISSION SET NAME >>"].aws_ssoadmin_permission_set_inline_policy.default[0]
}

Example, if you have a "PlatformAdmin" permission set:

moved {
  from = module.landing_zone.aws_ssoadmin_permission_set.default["PlatformAdmin"]
  to   = module.landing_zone.module.aws_sso_permission_sets["PlatformAdmin"].aws_ssoadmin_permission_set.default[0]
}

moved {
  from = module.landing_zone.aws_ssoadmin_permission_set_inline_policy.default["PlatformAdmin"]
  to   = module.landing_zone.module.aws_sso_permission_sets["PlatformAdmin"].aws_ssoadmin_permission_set_inline_policy.default[0]
}

For each permission set assignment, add the following block and substitute the placeholders:

moved {
  from = module.landing_zone.aws_ssoadmin_account_assignment.default["<< SSO GROUP NAME >>-<< AWS ACCOUNT ID >>-<< PERMISSION SET NAME >>"
  to   = module.landing_zone.module.aws_sso_permission_sets["PlatformAdmin"].aws_ssoadmin_account_assignment.default["<< SSO GROUP NAME >>:<< AWS ACCOUNT ID >>"]
}

Example:

moved {
  from = module.landing_zone.aws_ssoadmin_account_assignment.default["PlatformAdminTeam-123456789012-PlatformAdmin"]
  to   = module.landing_zone.module.aws_sso_permission_sets["PlatformAdmin"].aws_ssoadmin_account_assignment.default["PlatformAdminTeam:123456789012"]
}

Repeat adding these moved blocks until terraform plan doesn't report any planned changed.

This version requires Terraform 1.3 or newer.

Upgrading to v0.19.x

Be aware that all tag policies will be recreated since they are now created per tag policy instead of per OU.

Upgrading to v0.18.x

Version 0.18.x allows Tag Policies on nested Organizational units. Therefore the variable aws_required_tags needs the Organizational unit paths including 'Root', e.g.:

module "landing_zone" {
  ...

  aws_required_tags = {
    "Root/Production" = [
      {
        name   = "Tag1"
        values = ["A", "B"]
      }
    ]
    "Root/Environments/Non-Production" = [
      {
        name   = "Tag2"
      }
    ]
  }

Upgrading to v0.17.x

The following variables are now typed from string to list(string):

kms_key_policy
kms_key_policy_audit
kms_key_policy_logging

The following default key policy has been removed from the audit KMS key and a more secure default has been provided:

 {
      "Sid": "Enable IAM User Permissions",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
          "AWS": [
            "arn:aws:iam::${audit_account_id}:root",
            "arn:aws:iam::${master_account_id}:root"
          ]
      },
      "Action": "kms:*",
      "Resource": "*"
    }

If this new key policy is too restrictive for your deployment add extra key policies statements using the kms_key_policy_audit variable.

Upgrading to v0.16.x

Version 0.16 adds support for AWS provider version 4

Many parameters are removed from the aws_s3_bucket resource configuration, Terraform will not pick up on these changes on a subsequent terraform plan or terraform apply.

Please run the following commands before migrating to this version (assuming you have called the module landing_zone):

terraform import 'module.landing_zone.module.ses-root-accounts-mail-forward[0].module.s3_bucket.aws_s3_bucket_server_side_encryption_configuration.default' <bucket-name>

terraform import 'module.landing_zone.module.ses-root-accounts-mail-forward[0].module.s3_bucket.aws_s3_bucket_versioning.default' <bucket-name>

terraform import  'module.landing_zone.module.ses-root-accounts-mail-forward[0].module.s3_bucket.aws_s3_bucket_acl.default' <bucket-name>

terraform import 'module.landing_zone.module.ses-root-accounts-mail-forward[0].module.s3_bucket.aws_s3_bucket_policy.default' <bucket-name>

terraform import 'module.landing_zone.module.ses-root-accounts-mail-forward[0].module.s3_bucket.aws_s3_bucket_lifecycle_configuration.default[0]' <bucket-name>

Upgrading to v0.15.x

Version 0.15 adds an optional mail forwarder using Amazon SES. Adding the ses_root_accounts_mail_forward variable creates the necessary resources to accept mail sent to a verified email address and forward it to an external recipient or recipients. Due to the usage of configuration_aliases in the provider configurations of some submodules, this module now requires to use Terraform version 1.0.0 or higher.

Upgrading to v0.14.x

Version 0.14.x introduces an account level S3 public access policy that blocks public access to all S3 buckets in the landing zone core accounts. Please make sure you have no S3 buckets that require public access in any of the landing zone core accounts before upgrading.

Upgrading to v0.13.x

Version 0.13.x adds support for managed policies. This required changing the variable aws_sso_permission_sets where each permission set now requires an additional field called managed_policy_arns which must be a list of strings or can be an empty list.

Upgrading to v0.12.x

Version 0.12.x automatically sets the audit account as security hub administrator account for the organization and automatically enables Security Hub for new accounts in the organization. In case you already configured this manually please import these resources:

terraform import aws_securityhub_organization_admin_account.default <account id of the master account>
terraform import aws_securityhub_organization_configuration.default <account id of the audit account>

Upgrading to v0.11.x

Version 0.11.x adds additional IAM activity monitors, these will be created automatically if you have the cis-aws-foundations-benchmark standard enabled. To disable the creation of these monitors set the variable security_hub_create_cis_metric_filters to false.

Upgrading to v0.10.x

Version 0.10.x adds the possibility of assigning the same SSO Permission Set to different groups of accounts and SSO Groups. For example, the permission set Administrator can be assigned to group A for account 123 and for group B for account 456.

This required changing the variable aws_sso_permission_sets where the accounts attribute was renamed to assignments and changed to a list.

Upgrading to v0.9.x

Removal of the local AVM module. Modify the source to the new MCAF Account Vending Machine (AVM) module.

The following variables have been renamed:

sns_aws_config_subscription -> aws_config_sns_subscription
security_hub_product_arns -> aws_security_hub_product_arns
sns_aws_security_hub_subscription -> aws_security_hub_sns_subscription
sns_monitor_iam_activity_subscription -> monitor_iam_activity_sns_subscription

The following variable has been removed:

aws_create_account_password_policy, if you do not want to enable the password policy set the aws_account_password_policy variable to null

The provider alias has changed. Change the following occurence for all accounts, as shown below for the sandbox AVM module instance.

module.sandbox.provider[\"registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws\"].managed_by_inception => module.sandbox.provider[\"registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws\"].account

Moreover, resources in the AVM module are now stored under module.tfe_workspace[0], resulting in a plan wanting to destroy and recreate the existing Terraform Cloud workspace and IAM user used by the workspace which is undesirable.

To prevent this happening, simply move the resources in the state to their new location as shown below for the sandbox AVM module instance:

terraform state mv 'module.sandbox.module.workspace[0]' 'module.sandbox.module.tfe_workspace[0]'

Finally, if you are migrating to the MCAF Account Baseline module as well. Then remove the following resources from the state and let these resource be managed by the baseline workspaces. Command shown below for the sandbox AVM module instance

terraform state mv -state-out=baseline-sandbox.tfstate 'module.sandbox.aws_cloudwatch_log_metric_filter.iam_activity' 'module.account_baseline.aws_cloudwatch_log_metric_filter.iam_activity'
terraform state mv -state-out=baseline-sandbox.tfstate 'module.sandbox.aws_cloudwatch_metric_alarm.iam_activity' 'module.account_baseline.aws_cloudwatch_metric_alarm.iam_activity'
terraform state mv -state-out=baseline-sandbox.tfstate 'module.sandbox.aws_iam_account_password_policy.default' 'module.account_baseline.aws_iam_account_password_policy.default'
terraform state mv -state-out=baseline-sandbox.tfstate 'module.sandbox.aws_ebs_encryption_by_default.default' 'module.account_baseline.aws_ebs_encryption_by_default.default'

Upgrading to v0.8.x

Version 0.8.x introduces the possibility of managing AWS SSO resources using this module. To avoid a race condition between Okta pushing groups to AWS SSO and Terraform trying to read them using data sources, the okta_app_saml resource has been removed from the module.

With this change, all Okta configuration can be managed in the way that best suits the user. It also makes it possible to use this module with any other identity provider that is able to create groups on AWS SSO.

Upgrading to v0.7.x

From version 0.7.0, the monitoring of IAM entities has changed from Event Bridge Rules to CloudWatch Alarms. This means that passing a list of IAM identities to the variable monitor_iam_access is no longer supported.

The name of the SNS Topic used for notifications has also changed from LandingZone-MonitorIAMAccess to LandingZone-IAMActivity. Since this is a new Topic, all pre-existing SNS Subscriptions should be configured again using the variable sns_monitor_iam_activity_subscription.

Upgrading to v0.5.x

Since the create_workspace variable was added to the AVM module, resources in the included terraform-aws-mcaf-workspace module are now stored under module.workspace[0], resulting in a plan wanting to destroy and recreate the existing Terraform Cloud workspace and IAM user used by the workspace which is undesirable.

To prevent this happening, simply move the resources in the state to their new location as shown below for the sandbox AVM module instance:

terraform state mv 'module.sandbox.module.workspace' 'module.sandbox.module.workspace[0]'

Upgrading from v0.1.x to v0.2.x

This section describes changes to be aware of when upgrading from v0.1.x to v0.2.x.

Enhancements

AWS Config Aggregator Accounts

Since version 0.2.x supports multiple account IDs when configuring AWS Config Aggregator accounts, the identifier given to the multiple aws_config_aggregate_authorization resources had to change from region_name to account_id-region_name. This causes the authorizations created by version 0.1.x to be destroyed and recreated with the new identifiers.

AWS GuardDuty

In order to enable GuardDuty for the entire organization, all existing accounts except for the master and logging accounts have to be add as members in the audit account like explained here. If this step is not taken, only the core accounts will have GuardDuty enabled.

TFE Workspaces

TFE Workspaces use version 0.3.0 of the terraform-aws-mcaf-workspace module which by default creates a Terraform backend file in the repository associated with the workspace.
