Terraform AWS VPC Module

This is a terraform module that brings up a full AWS VPC with all the bells and whistles

This module helps deploy the following AWS resources

1. A primary VPC - the star of the show - with a modified RFC1918 IP space [^ref1] in compliance with AWS restrictions
2. An Internet gatway associated with the VPC
3. A NAT gateway for IPv4 and IPv6 egress traffic
4. An egress-only internet gateway for outgoing IPv6 traffic
5. A Public and a Private subnet with associated route tables containing appropriate routes
6. Prefix lists to maintain admin IP addresses to use in Security Group whitelists

Planned to be implemented:

• [TODO] VPC Endpoints for S3 and other services

How to use

⚠️ Please note that this module compatible with AWS provider version >= 5.0.0. Tested with v5.1.0;

1. Import the module in your root module:

module "vpc" {
  source = "git::https://gitlab.com/eternaltyro/terraform-aws-vpc.git"

  ...
  key = var.value
}

If you wish to use SSH to connect to git, then something like this will help:

module "vpc" {
  source = "git::ssh://[email protected]/eternaltyro/terraform-aws-vpc.git"
}

2. Write a provider block with the official AWS provider:

terraform {
  required_version = ">= 1.4.0"

  requried_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 5.1.0"
    }
  }
}

provider "aws" {
  region = lookup(var.aws_region, var.deployment_environment)

  default_tags {
    tags = var.resource_tags
  }
}

3. Initialise the backend, and plan

$ terraform init
$ terraform plan

Outputs

1. vpc_id - VPC ID
2. public_subnets - A list of public subnet IDs
3. private_subnets - A list of private subnet IDs
4. ipv4_prefix_list_id - ID of the prefix list for IPv4 addresses
5. ipv6_prefix_list_id - ID of the prefix list for IPv6 addresses

Variables

• aws_rfc1918 - A list of AWS restricted CIDRs that can be used for VPC address spacing. Defaults are set.
• project_meta - A map of project metadata containing project name, short name and version string. Defaults are set but empty.
• deployment_environment - A string indicator of the deployment environment or flavour or variant of the deployment. No defaults set.
• default_tags - A map of tag keys and values with basic keys and empty values by default
