+Rule Name:
+  AMI_EBS_ENCRYPTED
+
+Description:
+  Check EBS-backed AMI is encrypted.
+
+Rationale:
+  Encrypting on EBS ensure that no data is written on disk in clear text.
+
+Indicative Severity:
+  Medium
+
+Trigger:
+  Periodic
+
+Reports on:
+  AWS::::Account
+
+Scenarios:
+  Scenario: 1
+    Given: AMI target EBS is encrypted
+     Then: Return COMPLIANT
+  Scenario: 2
+    Given: AMI target EBS is not encrypted
+     Then: Return NON_COMPLIANT
