What CGPulse checks
A resource passes this rule when attachments must be set true. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.
How to fix it
Attach the internet gateway to the intended VPC or delete if unused. In AWS Console: VPC > Internet gateways > Attach to VPC. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/VPC_Internet_Gateway.html
Terraform
resource "aws_internet_gateway" "{name}" {
vpc_id = aws_vpc.{name}.id
}
