Custom Lab creation AWS EC2 image issue
Hi MattParven
I have managed to setup AMIs in our AWS 'burner' accounts and share them with Immersive Labs as our 'burner' account supports unencrypted EBS storage. My issues is these accounts are reset every 21 days and not suitable for storing the AMI long term.
Our normal AWS accounts do not allow unencrypted EBS (company wide policy) and so when I share the AMI it does not work in Immersive Labs as Immersive Labs does not have the encryption key!
Is there any way to support sharing an AMI with an encrypted EBS? I guess we would need to share a key or use one of yours?
Thanks,
Rob
Hey hexninja . If your organization is forcing encrypted EBS and there is no way to create a long-lived AWS account to store them unencrypted, this could pose a problem.
We may look at an option to "Copy" AMI to us in the future, which would mitigate this.
However in the short term (July), we are releasing a new feature that is basically an "image library" of machines we manage that you can choose from (Kali, Reverse Engineering machine, Forensics machine, etc.). These machines allow you to upload files (like logs) without needing to build/manage the underlying machines yourself, and I think that this may suit your needs.
What type of software are you needing on the Ubuntu machine to do the log analysis, is it custom to your org or open source tools?
