21.3 Release Notes

Latest 21.3 Release

21.3.5 Latest Release 5/14/2021

Release 21.3.5 resolves an issue identified in DivvyCloud’s 21.3.0 release with harvest jobs not getting scheduled. After running for long periods of time, the scheduler may fail to schedule certain harvest jobs, causing a slow leak of harvests. This release resolves this issue and ensures that all harvest jobs are scheduled as specified by the harvest strategy. [ENG-7852]

We recommend customers on versions 21.3.0 through 21.3.4 immediately take release 21.3.5 to address the issue. Contact your CSM or support at support@divvycloud.com with questions or concerns.

Release Highlights (21.3.4)

DivvyCloud is pleased to announce Minor Release 21.3.4. This minor release includes two feature enhancements, updates to several filters, one UI update, and several bug fixes.

For our add-on Cloud IAM Governance module, we have details around one feature enhancement.

This minor release 21.3.4 was available for hosted customers on Wednesday May 12, 2021 and distributed to self-hosted customers on Thursday May 13, 2021 - if you’re interested in learning more about becoming a hosted customer reach out to support@divvycloud.com.*

Divvy Software Release Notice - 21.3.0 Major Release (04/14/2021)

New Permissions Required (21.3.0)

New Permissions Required: AWS

For AWS Standard (Read-Only) Users: "elasticache:DescribeReservedCacheNodes", "elastictranscoder:ListPipelines", "es:DescribeReservedElasticsearchInstances", "kendra:DescribeIndex", "kendra:ListIndices"

For AWS Power Users: "elastictranscoder:", "kendra:"

Note: We recommend our AWS Standard (Read-Only) Users employ AWS' managed read-only policy, supplemented by a small additional DivvyCloud policy. The benefit of using the AWS managed policy lies in AWS' continuously updating the policy for new services, making it easier for the customer to attach and maintain the policy. Details on this recommendation can be found at AWS Standard User (read-only) Policy - Option 1.

More on AWS Permissions:

  • "elasticache:DescribeReservedCacheNodes" - Supports added visibility into AWS Elasticsearch and AWS ElastiCache reserved instances. [ENG-6718]
  • "elastictranscoder:ListPipelines" - Provides visibility and lifecycle support for the newly added resource AWS Elastic Transcoder Pipelines. [ENG-7057]
  • "es:DescribeReservedElasticsearchInstances" - Supports added visibility into AWS Elasticsearch and AWS ElastiCache reserved instances. [ENG-6718]
  • "kendra:DescribeIndex" and "kendra:ListIndices" - Support the added visibility, tag, and deletion lifecycle support for AWS Kendra Search Indexes. [ENG-6239]

New Permissions Required: Azure

For Azure Standard (Read-Only) Users: "Microsoft.OperationalInsights/workspaces/read"

For Azure Power Users: "Microsoft.OperationalInsights/*****"

More on Azure Permissions: "Microsoft.OperationalInsights/workspaces/read" - Supports the newly added resource Azure Log Analytics Workspaces. [ENG-6247]

User Interface Enhancements (21.3.0)

  • We have added a Scheduler Mailbox Queue count to the admin System Health Settings view, enabling visibility into the scheduler queue. This queue count is typically expected to stay near zero, however if it continues to increase, this can be viewed as an early warning that there may be issues with the scheduler. [ENG-7494]
  • Improved the user experience for IaC with better/clearer error messaging for an invalid Terraform scan template and without a stack trace in the UI. [ENG-7193]
  • DivvyCloud’s Insight Library view now allows users to add/update labels from the context menu available next to each Insight name. [ENG-6717]

Features & Enhancements (21.3.0)

SCHEDULER IMPROVEMENTS We have introduced several performance and reliability improvements to the scheduler, specifically with processing worker messages. In rare cases, customers have observed scheduled events taking longer to appear after being created by Bots or being marked as complete after the action was executed. This was resolved by removing possible bottlenecks in message processing. In addition, scheduler log messages now have better context when originating from a Bot; we have also improved visibility and resiliency for recovering information around scheduler thread failures. [ENG-7453]

AWS

  • We have enriched EDH metadata by storing the IP which provisioned the resource [ENG-7121]:
    • We have expanded the metadata we can attach to resources harvested using Event Driven Harvesting (EDH) to include the IP address of the creator. Now, we can also auto-tag provisioned resources with a “divvy.creator_ip” tag, which captures the IP address of the user who created the resource.
    • Added a new filter, Resource Provisioned From Unauthorized Network (AWS), that compares resource creator IP addresses with authorized IPv4 networks to identify resources provisioned from outside of those networks.
    • To make the filter more useful, we recommend first creating a data collection for the filter called “Authorized Networks”. The data collection should have internal approved networks supplemented with AWS networks to surface true concerns. Next, we recommend creating a Bot that runs using the “Resource Created” hookpoint. The Bot can send notifications, take corrective actions, or both.
  • Added visibility and lifecycle support for AWS Elastic Transcoder Pipelines, the queues that manage AWS’ transcoding jobs. A new permission is required: "elastictranscoder:ListPipelines". This new resource can be located on the main Resources page, Compute category, as a new Resource Type “Transcoding Pipeline”. [ENG-7057]
  • Added visibility, tag, and deletion lifecycle support for AWS Kendra Search Indexes. New permissions required are "kendra:DescribeIndex" and "kendra:ListIndices". The AWS Kendra Index resource can be found on the main Resources page, Compute category, as a new Resource Type “Search Index”. [ENG-6239]
  • Added visibility into AWS Elasticsearch and AWS ElastiCache reserved instances. New permissions required are "elasticache:DescribeReservedCacheNodes" and "es:DescribeReservedElasticsearchInstances". [ENG-6718]
  • Added visibility and filtering support for the authentication strategy and auto minor upgrade configuration values of Amazon MQ Broker Instances. The updated filters are Database/Broker Instance Without Minor Upgrades Enabled (previously named Database Instance Without Minor Upgrades Enabled) and Database/Broker Instance With Minor Upgrades Enabled (previously named Database Instance With Minor Upgrades Enabled). [ENG-7202]
  • We have added a filter, Resource Specific Policy With Negation Key (AWS), to identify resources with policies that use two discouraged negation keys, i.e., "NotAction", and "NotPrincipal". While there are valid use cases for those keys in policies, they are generally discouraged. [ENG-6928]
  • Added a new Bot action “Update Cloud Role Session Duration” that can be used to update the maximum session duration for AWS IAM Roles. [ENG-7182]
  • Added a new Bot action “Enable ETL Data Catalog Encryption” to enable AWS Glue Data Catalog encryption at rest and password encryption. [ENG-6322]
  • Added three new filters for AWS Elasticsearch instances:
    • Elasticsearch Instance UltraWarm Enabled/Not Enabled
    • Elasticsearch Instance Zone Awareness Enabled/Not Enabled
    • Elasticsearch Instance Without Advanced Security Enabled
  • Added a new filter Distributed Table With Default Encryption to identify AWS DynamoDB tables that leverage provider default encryption. [ENG-7184]

AZURE

  • Added the Azure subscription that a resource group belongs to as helper text when scoping Bots. [ENG-6835]
  • Added support for Azure Log Analytics Workspaces. A new permission "Microsoft.OperationalInsights/workspaces/read" is required for this resource, which can be found on the Resources main page, Identity & Management category, as a new Resource Type “Log Analytics Workspace”. In addition, Azure Virtual Machines can now be queried for whether they are exporting logs to a workspace using the Resource Not Exporting To Log Analytics Workspace filter. [ENG-6247]
  • Added the ability to delete and disassociate an Azure Public IP. [ENG-3443]

GCP

  • Added visibility into publicly accessible Google Cloud Functions and included support for IaC analysis via Terraform. A new filter, Serverless Function Uses HTTP Trigger (GCP), identifies serverless functions that leverage an HTTP trigger. [ENG-7233]

MULTI-CLOUD/GENERAL

  • Made improvements in the scheduler to increase reliability in monitoring and logging, as well as to improve performance. [ENG-6398]
  • Added a configuration option to AWS and Azure Organizations to automatically remove clouds for suspended accounts. [ENG-7101]
  • Introduced a new filter Resource Engine Version that identifies resources by their engine version (major and minor). It works with the following resource types: Airflow Environments, Big Data Instances, Broker Instances, Cache Instances, Database Clusters, Database Instances, Database Migration Instances, Elasticsearch Instances, Stream Instances. [ENG-7213]
  • Insights are now filtered by the cloud provider when a specific cloud resource type is selected. [ENG-7194] *Provide a display of the IAC Provider type in the Scan Result header. [ENG-7189]
  • Added the ability to add/update labels for Insights from the Insight library view. [ENG-6717]
  • Provided the ability for users to copy and paste a list of tags directly into any Tags selector across our app, e.g., the Query Filters and Bot Action Filters. Customers can now copy and paste Tags from anywhere, and on pasting them into the tag selector, they will see a list of separate tags. [ENG-6701]
  • We’ve removed the log file handler and stopped the application from writing logs to disk to prevent consuming disk space. [ENG-7309]

Resources (21.3.0)

AWS

  • Added visibility and lifecycle support for AWS Elastic Transcoder Pipelines, the queues that manage AWS’ transcoding jobs. A new permission is required: "elastictranscoder:ListPipelines".

[ENG-7057] *Added visibility, tag, and deletion lifecycle support for AWS Kendra Search Indexes. New permissions required are "kendra:DescribeIndex" and "kendra:ListIndices". The AWS Kendra Index resource can be found on the main Resources page, Compute category, as a new Resource Type “Search Index”. [ENG-6239]
  • Added visibility and tagging support to these AWS resource types: IAM policies, SAML, OpenID Identity Providers, and Event Bridge event buses. More information on this can be found here. [ENG-6697]

AZURE

  • Added support for Azure Log Analytics Workspaces. A new permission "Microsoft.OperationalInsights/workspaces/read" is required for this resource, which can be found on the Resources main page, Identity & Management category, as a new Resource Type “Log Analytics Workspace”.

Cloud IAM Governance (Access Explorer) Updates - 21.3.0 Major Release (04/14/2021)

** The following updates are related to enhancements and bug fixes for our commercial add-on Cloud IAM Governance (Access Explorer) module.**

Contact us at support@divvycloud.com with any questions.

Cloud IAM Governance Features & Enhancements (21.3.0)

  • IAM Analyzer Performance improvements and bug fixes. [ENG-7217]
  • Added Identity Resource Principal With Effective Wildcard Access On Service Or Action (AWS) Query Filter (IAM Customers ONLY). This filter matches Principals who are allowed to perform all actions within an AWS service (e.g., s3 or ec2) within some user-defined tolerance (for example, a role which can perform all but 2 ec2 actions). [ENG-6617]
  • Added Identity Resource Principal Has Any Actions On Service (AWS) filter for detecting AWS Users and Roles with access to services. [ENG-7032]
  • Improved IAM Cache Build performance; Modified IAM Cache Build status to show relationships (instead of resources), which updates the progress bar more frequently. [ENG-7201]

Cloud IAM Governance Filters (21.3.0)

  • Identity Resource Principal Has Any Actions On Service (AWS) - This is a new filter for detecting AWS Users and Roles with access to services. [ENG-7032]
  • Identity Resource Principal With Effective Wildcard Access On Service Or Action (AWS) - This new query filter (for IAM Customers ONLY) matches Principals who have or nearly have Wildcard for Services or Actions. User specifies which services or can specify all services (which is default). This is an Effective Access filter; we compute the full policy stack and the answer is based on full effective access. [ENG-6617]

Important Note on Cloud IAM Governance Filters

Both filters above require the implementation of the Parallel Cache Build and whitelisting of accounts.

Cloud IAM Governance Bug Fix (21.3.0)

  • [ENG-7066] Fixed bug in IAM Access Analyzer that resolved improper star denies and star allows.

  • Added a new option to the Bot action “Modify Database/Big Data Instance Attribute” that allows SSL to be required for all connections to AWS Redshift instances. [ENG-7517]

Filters (21.3.1)

FILTER WILL BE DEPRECATED We have deprecated the filter Resource Specific Policy Principal Search--now named Resource Specific Policy Principal Search (Deprecated)-- in favor of the new 21.3 version Resource Specific Policy Principal/Action Search. This new filter matches resources whose access policy either contains or is missing desired target principal statements. Note that this filter only inspects resource-specific access policies such as those attached to S3 or KMS resources. Please migrate Bots and Insights to the newer version of this filter. The filter is not used in any Insights provided by DivvyCloud. Steps for this migration are:

  1. In the DivvyCloud tool, access the Filters main page (Security ⇒ Filters)
  2. Use the search input field to find the filter Resource Specific Policy Principal Search (DEPRECATED)
  3. Use the links for Bots to find the bots that use the filter
  4. Open each Bot and choose the "Reconfigure" action
  5. Navigate to the Bot's conditions and add the replacement filter Resource Specific Policy Principal/Action Search
  6. Copy over the configuration from the deprecated filter to the replacement filter
  7. Remove the deprecated filter
  8. Save the Bot
  9. Return to Filters main page to find the custom Insights using the deprecated filter
  10. Open each Insight and choose "Record Changes"
  11. Add the replacement filter Resource Specific Policy Principal/Action Search
  12. Copy the configuration from the deprecated filter to the replacement filter
  13. Remove the deprecated filter
  14. Save the changes

The old filter will be retired after Release 21.4.0 (planned), so customers should update their Bots and Insights accordingly (to more easily see what impact, if any, the update will have). If customers prefer to have the migration performed on their behalf, they can wait until Release 21.4.0 (planned) and we will update their Bots and Custom Insights automatically via database migration. [ENG-4949]

For AWS Standard (Read-Only) Policy: “rds:DescribeDbProxies”

  • Note: We recommend our AWS Standard (Read-Only) Users employ AWS' managed read-only policy, supplemented by a small additional DivvyCloud policy. The benefit of using the AWS managed policy lies in AWS' continuously updating the policy for new services, making it easier for the customer to attach and maintain the policy. Details on this recommendation can be found at AWS Standard User (read-only) Policy - Option 1.
