Checks whether the network type of an ApsaraDB RDS instance is virtual private cloud (VPC) or whether an ApsaraDB RDS instance is deployed in a specified VPC.
Scenario
We recommend that you deploy an ApsaraDB RDS instance in a VPC. A VPC is an isolated network that ensures network security in the cloud.
Risk level
Default risk level: medium.
You can change the risk level as required when you apply this rule.
Compliance evaluation logic
- If the vpcIds parameter is not specified and the ApsaraDB RDS instance is deployed in a VPC, the configuration is considered compliant. If the vpcIds parameter is specified and the ApsaraDB RDS instance is deployed in a specified VPC, the configuration is also considered compliant.
- If the vpcIds parameter is not specified and the ApsaraDB RDS instance is deployed in the classic network, the configuration is considered non-compliant. If the vpcIds parameter is specified but the ApsaraDB RDS instance is not deployed in a specified VPC, the configuration is also considered non-compliant. For more information about how to correct the non-compliant configuration, see Non-compliance remediation.
