Import the necessary Python libraries:

import boto3

Connect to AWS using the Boto3 library:

client = boto3.client('shield')

Disable GuardDuty Centralized Enablement:

response = client.update_subscription(
    AutoRenew=True,
    Enabled=False
)

Verify that GuardDuty Centralized Enablement has been successfully disabled:

if response['ResponseMetadata']['HTTPStatusCode'] == 200:

Using Terraform

resource "aws_guardduty_detector" "this" {
  # Enable Amazon GuardDuty in this account and region
  enable = true

  # Optional: supply tags if required by your org
  tags = {
    Name        = "GUARDDUTY_DETECTOR_NAME" # replace with a descriptive name
    Environment = "ENVIRONMENT_NAME"        # e.g., "prod", "dev"
  }
}

Enabling this may incur additional GuardDuty charges; if a detector already exists in this account/region, import it into this resource (terraform import aws_guardduty_detector.this DETECTOR_ID) instead of creating a new one, or the apply will fail.terraform plan should show one new aws_guardduty_detector.this resource to be created with enable = true and no changes to existing resources.
