A configuration package to monitor Root Account activity as well as configuration compliance rules to ensure the Root Account's security configuration. The package includes:

  • AWS Logging Services: AWS CloudTrail, AWS Config, AWS CloudWatch Log Group to receive CloudTrail logs, and an S3 Bucket to store logs from AWS Config and AWS CloudTrail
  • SNS Topic for email notifications.
  • AWS Config Rules to ensure the security of the Root Account's configuration: Root MFA Enabled, Root MFA Hardware, No Root Access Key,
  • Email notification for Config Rule compliance status changes using a CloudWatch Event Rule
  • CloudWatch Alarms to send email notifications when the Root account is used in an AWS environment:  Root Login Alarm,
