Custom notification for Config rules

There can be occurrences of critical non-compliant Config Rules that require raising escalated awareness directly with the your InfoSec and Leadership teams. For such scenarios, AMS recommends that you configure a non-compliance event-driven custom notification.

For example:

ConfigRuleName: required-tags
      Description: >-
        A Config rule that checks whether EC2 instances have the mandated tags.
      Scope:
        ComplianceResourceTypes:
          - 'AWS::EC2::Instance'
      InputParameters:
        tag1Key: COST_CENTER
        tag2Key: APP_ID
      Source:
        Owner: AWS
        SourceIdentifier: REQUIRED_TAGS
  NotificationEventRule:
    Type: 'AWS::Events::Rule'
    Properties:
      Name: CWEventForrequired-tags
      Description: >-
        SNS Notification for Non-Compliant Events of Config Rule:
        required-tags
      State: ENABLED
      EventPattern:
        detail-type:

        detail:

              - NON_COMPLIANT
          configRuleARN:
            - 'Fn::GetAtt':
                - RequiredEC2Tags
                - Arn
