terraform-aws-ec2-client-vpn

The terraform-aws-ec2-client-vpn project provides for ec2 client vpn infrastructure. AWS Client VPN is a managed client-based VPN service based on OpenVPN that enables you to securely access your AWS resources and resources in your on-premises network. With Client VPN, you can access your resources from any location using any OpenVPN-based VPN client.

This project is part of our comprehensive "SweetOps" approach towards DevOps.

It's 100% Open Source and licensed under the APACHE2.

We literally have hundreds of terraform modules that are Open Source and well-maintained. Check them out!

Usage

IMPORTANT: We do not pin modules to versions in our examples because of the difficulty of keeping the versions in the documentation in sync with the latest released versions. We highly recommend that in your code you pin the version to the exact version you are using so that your infrastructure remains stable, and update versions in a systematic way so that they do not catch you by surprise.

Also, because of a bug in the Terraform registry (hashicorp/terraform#21417), the registry shows many of our inputs as required when in fact they are optional. The table below correctly indicates which inputs are required.

For a complete example, see examples/complete.

For automated tests of the complete example using bats and Terratest (which tests and deploys the example on AWS), see test.

additional_security_group_rules	A list of Security Group rule objects to add to the created security group, in addition to the ones this module normally creates. (To suppress the module's rules, set `create_security_group` to false and supply your own security group via `associated_security_group_ids`.) The keys and values of the objects are fully compatible with the `aws_security_group_rule` resource, except for `security_group_id` which will be ignored, and the optional "key" which, if provided, must be unique and known at "plan" time.

associated_security_group_ids	A list of IDs of Security Groups to associate the VPN endpoints with, in addition to the created security group. These security groups will not be modified and, if `create_security_group` is `false`, must have rules providing the desired access.	`list(string)`	`[]`	no
associated_subnets	List of subnets to associate with the VPN endpoint	`list(string)`	n/a	yes
attributes	ID element. Additional attributes (e.g. `workers` or `cluster`) to add to `id`, in the order they appear in the list. New attributes are appended to the end of the list. The elements of the list are joined by the `delimiter` and treated as a single ID element.	`list(string)`	`[]`	no

Individual variable settings (non-null) override settings in context object, except for attributes, tags, and additional_tag_map, which are merged.	`any`	{ "additional_tag_map": {}, "attributes": [], "delimiter": null, "descriptor_formats": {}, "enabled": true, "environment": null, "id_length_limit": null, "label_key_case": null, "label_order": [], "label_value_case": null, "labels_as_tags": [ "unset" ], "name": null, "namespace": null, "regex_replace_chars": null, "stage": null, "tags": {}, "tenant": null }	no

descriptor_formats	Describe additional descriptors to be output in the `descriptors` output map. Map of maps. Keys are names of descriptors. Values are maps of the form `{<br> format = string<br> labels = list(string)<br>}` (Type is `any` so the map values can later be enhanced to provide additional options.) `format` is a Terraform format string to be passed to the `format()` function. `labels` is a list of labels, in order, to pass to `format()` function. Label values will be normalized before being passed to `format()` so they will be identical to how they appear in `id`. Default is `{}` (`descriptors` output will be empty).	`any`	`{}`	no

Does not affect values of tags passed in via the `tags` input. Possible values: `lower`, `title`, `upper` and `none` (no transformation). Set this to `title` and set `delimiter` to `""` to yield Pascal Case IDs. Default value: `lower`.	`string`	`null`	no
labels_as_tags	Set of labels (ID elements) to include as tags in the `tags` output. Default is to include all labels. Tags with empty values will not be included in the `tags` output. Set to `[]` to suppress all generated tags. Notes: The value of the `name` tag, if included, will be the `id`, not the `name`.

organization_name	Name of organization to use in private certificate	`string`	n/a	yes
regex_replace_chars	Terraform regular expression (regex) string. Characters matching the regex will be removed from the ID elements. If not set, `"/[^a-zA-Z0-9-]/"` is used to remove all characters other than hyphens, letters and digits.	`string`	`null`	no

The certificate secret path will be computed as `format(var.secret_path_format, var.name, var.secret_extensions.certificate)` and the private key path as `format(var.secret_path_format, var.name, var.secret_extensions.private_key)`. Thus by default, if `var.name`=`example-self-signed-cert`, then the resulting secret paths for the self-signed certificate's PEM file and private key will be `/example-self-signed-cert.pem` and `/example-self-signed-cert.key`, respectively. This variable can be overridden in order to create more specific certificate backend paths.	`string`	`"/%s.%s"`	no
