ALB Tag Config Rule

To get up and running, first make sure you have the CDK installed.

Once installed, create a python virtual environment, and install the required depencies:

virtualenv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Now you should edit the cdk.json file for your environment. The following variables should be set accordingly:

    "external_tag_key": "ExternalALB",
    "external_tag_value": "true",
    "internal_tag_key": "InternalALB",
    "internal_tag_value": "true",
    "exception_tag_key": "WAFException",
    "exception_tag_value": "false",
    "enforce_compliance": "true"

Note: You may want to set enforce_compliance to false to start. When the rule is run with this set to false, it will report COMPLIANT and NON-COMPLIANT resources in the AWS Config interface. If you'd like to have the rule automatically set the tags, set this to true.

You can now deploy the stack:

cdk deploy

Useful commands

• cdk ls list all stacks in the app
• cdk synth emits the synthesized CloudFormation template
• cdk deploy deploy this stack to your default AWS account/region
• cdk diff compare deployed stack with current state
• cdk docs open CDK documentation
