Possible Impact

Suggested Resolution

Enable encryption on managed disks

Insecure Example

The following example will fail the azure-compute-enable-disk-encryption check.

resource "azurerm_managed_disk" "bad_example" {
    encryption_settings {
        enabled = false
    }
}

Secure Example

The following example will pass the azure-compute-enable-disk-encryption check.

resource "azurerm_managed_disk" "good_example" {
    encryption_settings {
        enabled = true
    }
