Ensure SageMaker Notebook Instance Data Encryption is enabled

SageMaker is a fully-managed AWS service that enables developers and data engineers to quickly and easily build, train and deploy machine learning models at any scale. An AWS SageMaker notebook instance is a fully managed ML instance that is running the Jupyter Notebook open-source web application. It is highly recommended that the data stored on Machine Learning (ML) storage volumes attached to your AWS SageMaker notebook instances is encrypted in order to protect your data from breaches or unauthorized access and fulfill compliance requirements for data-at-rest encryption within your organization.

SageMakerNotebook should have kmsKey

REMEDIATION

From Portal
There is no possibility to enable encryption to an existing SageMaker instance. You need to re-create these with the necessary encryption configuration to ensure SageMaker notebook instances are encrypted. You can enable data-at-rest encryption and copy your existing data to it, perform the following actions.

  1. Log in to the AWS Management Console.
  2. Go to to SageMaker service dashboard at https://console.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/.
  3. Click on 'Create notebook Instance'.
  4. Under 'Permissions and encryption' section, select the key from the Encryption key drop down. (select Enter a KMS key ARN option, then enter the full ARN of the AWS KMS default key)
  5. Complete the rest of the configurations and Create your notebook instance.

From TF

resource "aws_sagemaker_notebook_instance" "test" {
	name          = "my-notebook-instance"
	role_arn      = aws_iam_role.role.arn
	instance_type = "ml.t2.medium"
	+ kms_key_id = "KEY_ARN"
	
	tags = {
		Name = "foo"
	}
}

From Command Line

  1. We can not enable encryption to an existing SageMaker instance. Create a new notebook instance using below command to enable encryption for that instance.
    Note: --kms-key-id parameter will enable encryption for the required notebook instance.
aws sagemaker create-notebook-instance --notebook-instance-name INSTANCE_NAME --instance-type VALUE --kms-key-id KEY_ARN
  1. Copy your data from the old notebook instance to the newly created instance.
  2. Once data is copied, you can remove the old notebook instance using below command.
aws sagemaker delete-notebook-instance --notebook-instance-name INSTANCE_NAME
