Azure Databricks Workspaces not using customer-managed key for root DBFS encryption

Description

This policy checks whether Databricks Workspaces leverage a customer-managed key for root DBFS encryption. DBFS (Databricks File System) is the distributed file system used by Databricks clusters. Encrypting the root DBFS adds an extra layer of security, ensuring that even in the event of unauthorized access, the data remains inaccessible and secure. Customer-managed keys enhance security by giving you control over encryption, strengthening your security posture.

Code Example

go
resource "azurerm_databricks_workspace" "databricks_workspace_good" {
  ...
  customer_managed_key_enabled = true
}

resource "azurerm_databricks_workspace_root_dbfs_customer_managed_key" "databricks_workspace_good" {
  workspace_id     = azurerm_databricks_workspace.databricks_workspace_good.id
  key_vault_key_id = "123456"
}

Remediation

Terraform

  • Resource: azurerm_databricks_workspace,azurerm_databricks_workspace_root_dbfs_customer_managed_key
  • Arguments: sku,customer_managed_key_enabled

Set the `customer_managed_key_enabled` attribute to `true` during Azure Databricks workspace creation. This enables customer-managed key encryption for your DBFS root data at rest.
