Compliance Rule Packs, Now That Audit Manager Is Closed to New Customers
AWS Config conformance packs for one account or a whole organisation, with a ten-rule baseline of AWS managed rules taken from AWS's CIS sample pack. AWS Audit Manager no longer takes new customers and points them here. The module says a pack evaluates nothing without a configuration recorder and that Terraform cannot detect a pack edited in the console.

Documentation
aws-conformance-packs
Compliance rule packs on AWS Config. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu
(>= 1.6), aws provider >= 6.0, < 7.0.
This is where Audit Manager users go now. AWS Audit Manager is no longer open to new customers, and AWS points them at Config conformance packs.
A conformance pack evaluates nothing without a recorder. The account, or every non-excluded organisation account, needs a configuration recorder first; this module does not create one (aws-config does).
Terraform cannot see a pack changed in the console: the provider documents that template drift is not detected.
An organisation pack has rules of its own: it is created from the management or a delegated administrator account, and its delivery bucket must begin with awsconfigconforms.
The baseline is deliberately small: ten parameter-free AWS managed rules taken from AWS's CIS 1.4 sample pack. Full frameworks are AWS sample packs supplied through packs.
Verification
Static validation runs tofu fmt, init, validate, tflint and checkov.
This module has not yet had a live test, so it is published as statically
validated with its live test pending and does not carry the live-tested mark.

aws-verified-permissions
validation_settings.mode defaults to OFF, so a Cedar policy naming an action the schema does not define is accepted and then never matches. A broken permit fails closed and somebody complains; a broken forbid fails OPEN and nobody does. STRICT here, with the schema that makes it possible.
aws-rolesanywhere
Any certificate chaining to the trust anchor can exchange itself for AWS credentials, so the CA is the perimeter - and it is usually run by people who were never told. The profile carries the scope, sessions are narrowed below the role, the caller cannot name itself in CloudTrail, and CA expiry warns before every workload loses credentials at once.
aws-signer
Signing profiles for Lambda packages and container images, plus the code signing configuration that enforces them. Defaults to Enforce rather than the API default Warn, which logs an untrusted artifact and deploys it anyway.
aws-cognito
A secure-by-default Cognito user pool and app client with optional hosted-UI domain - strong password policy, TOTP MFA, account-enumeration protection, SRP-only flows, and refresh-token revocation.
aws-lake-formation
AWS Lake Formation with its own permissions switched on for new databases and tables: admins, registered S3 locations and explicit grants. AWS ships it in IAM-only mode, and its settings resource clears any admin it is not given, so admins are required and the settings are protected from destroy. Existing databases keep IAM-only access until revoked outside Terraform, and it says so.
aws-detective
Builds an investigable graph from CloudTrail, VPC flow logs and GuardDuty findings, with member accounts and organization delegation. It detects nothing itself - it makes an existing finding into a timeline.
