This terraform-aws-utils module provides some simple utilities to use when working in AWS.

[!TIP]

πŸ‘½ Use Atmos with Terraform

Cloud Posse uses atmos to easily orchestrate multiple environments using Terraform. <br/> Works with Github Actions, Atlantis, or Spacelift.

Introduction

This terraform-aws-utils module provides some simple utilities to use when working in AWS. More complex utilities are available through Cloud Posse's utils Terraform provider terraform-provider-utils.

Compact Alternative Codes (Abbreviations)

This module's primary function is to provide compact alternative codes for Regions, Availability Zones, and Local Zones, codes which are guaranteed to use only digits and lower case letters: no hyphens. Conversions to and from official codes and alternative codes are handled via lookup maps.

We currently support Local Zones but not Wavelength Zones. If we support Wavelength Zones in the future, it is likely that the fixed-length abbreviations for them will be non-intuitive, or we may only provide short and not fixed abbreviations for them.

The intention is that existing region mappings will never change, and if new regions or zones are created that conflict with existing ones, they will be given non-standard mappings so as not to conflict. However, as stated above, we may choose to change a local region abbreviation if it conflicts with the obvious abbreviation for a newly created region. We have picked abbreviations for local zones with avoiding such future collisions in mind, but we cannot predict the future. (Both bos and den fit the pattern for region abbreviations, but we do not envision a future bo-south-1 or de-north-1 region.)

ELB Logging

This module provides Elastic Load Balancing Account IDs per region to be used in configuring S3 Bucket Permissions to allow access logs to be stored in S3.

However, the account IDs have no other purpose, and as AWS expands, it has become more complicated to create the correct bucket policy. The policy for region me-central-1 is different than the policy for us-east-1. So now this module has a new feature: you provide the full AWS region code for the region where logging is to take place (elb_logging_region), and the S3 bucket ARN for where logs are to be stored (elb_logging_bucket_resource_arn), and this module will output the appropriate S3 bucket policy (in JSON) to attach to your S3 bucket.

NOTE: The region must be known at Terraform "plan" time. Use a configuration input, such as what you used to configure the Terraform AWS Provider, not an output from some resource or module.

Region Display Names

There is no AWS API that reliably returns the human-friendly display name (e.g. "Europe (Stockholm)") given the API-friendly region name. So this module provides region_display_name_map to implement this functionality.

Enabled and Disabled Regions

For convenience, this module provides lists of enabled and disabled regions in the current account. Note that since these lists are dynamic, they cannot be used in Terraform count or for_each resource expressions.

Usage

Here's how to invoke this example module in your projects

locals {
  shorten_regions   = true
  naming_convention = local.shorten_regions ? "to_short" : "identity"
  az_map            = module.example.region_az_alt_code_maps[local.naming_convention]
}

module "utils_example_complete" {
  source  = "cloudposse/utils/aws"
  # Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
  # version     = "x.x.x"
}

module "label" {
  source = "cloudposse/label/null"
  # Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
  # version     = "x.x.x"

  attributes = [local.az_map["us-east-2"]]

  context = module.this.context
}

[!IMPORTANT] In Cloud Posse's examples, we avoid pinning modules to specific versions to prevent discrepancies between the documentation and the latest released versions. However, for your own projects, we strongly advise pinning each module to the exact version you're using. This practice ensures the stability of your infrastructure. Additionally, we recommend implementing a systematic approach for updating versions to avoid unexpected changes.
