From the user guide, I don't see Macie in the list of supported CloudFormation resources. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-template-resource-type-ref.html Does this mean that you cannot create Macie resources through CloudFormation templates?

I think you can set up EC2 with script to configure AWS Macie. I haven't tried it before so I might be wrong. – kkesley Nov 15 '18 at 22:04

1Can you elaborate a little more? Is it through boto3? – Chang Lee Nov 16 '18 at 16:06

Unfortunately, Cloudformation supports only few functions of Macie. At the moment (November 2021), Cloudformation only supports the following actions:
AWS::Macie::CustomDataIdentifierdefines a custom data identifierAWS::Macie::FindingsFilterdefines a filter on the jobs' resultsAWS::Macie::Sessionrepresents the Amazon Macie service and configuration settings for an account.
Cloudformation is still missing the core functionality of Macie which is the creation of jobs (based whether on a defined data identifier or a custom one). I hope it will be added soon to CloudFormation.

It looks like you can configure Macie with CloudFormation according to the official docs: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/AWS_Macie.html

No, it's not supported. There's not much to configure with Macie, it just runs. Amazon explicitly states that Macie doesn't accept custom regexes, for example, unlike Google DLP.

1This answer is incorrect. Macie can be configured using CloudFormation like it is explained in another answer – BinaryButterfly Nov 25 '21 at 11:58
