This practice helps improve security by ensuring that application load balancers are not exposed to the internet unless explicitly required, reducing the attack surface and potential security risks.

Enforce AWS Application Load Balancers Are Internal

main

aws_ec2_application_load_balancer_approved

Determine the action to take when an AWS EC2 application load balancer is not approved based on `AWS &gt; EC2 &gt; Application Load Balancer &gt; Approved &gt; *` policies.&#92;n&#92;nThe Approved control checks the status of the defined Approved sub-policies for the resource. If the resource is not approved according to any of these policies, this control raises an alarm and takes the defined enforcement action.&#92;n&#92;nFor any enforcement actions that specify `if new`, e.g., `Enforce: Delete unapproved if new`, this control will only take the enforcement actions for resources created within the last 60 minutes.&#92;n&#92;nSee [Approved](https://turbot.com/guardrails/docs/concepts/guardrails/approved) for more information.&#92;n

aws_ec2_application_load_balancer_approved_custom

Determine whether the AWS EC2 application load balancer is allowed to exist.&#92;nThis policy will be evaluated by the Approved control. If an AWS EC2 application load balancer is not approved, it will be subject to the action specified in the `AWS &gt; EC2 &gt; Application Load Balancer &gt; Approved` policy.&#92;nSee [Approved](https://turbot.com/guardrails/docs/concepts/guardrails/approved) for more information.&#92;n&#92;n**Note**: The policy value must be a string with a value of `Approved`, `Not approved` or `Skip`, or in the form of YAML objects. The object(s) must contain the key `result` with its value as `Approved` or `Not approved`. A custom title and message can also be added using the keys `title` and `message` respectively.&#92;n
