The amplify/example YAML configuration defines an Amplify app in AWS. The app is set up to use the Next.js framework with SSR (server-side rendering) and is linked to the GitHub repository "https://github.com/cloudposse/amplify-test2".

The app is set up to have two environments: main and develop. Each environment has different configuration settings, such as the branch name, framework, and stage. The main environment is set up for production, while the develop environments is set up for development.

The app is also configured to have custom subdomains for each environment, with prefixes such as example-prod and example-dev. The subdomains are configured to use DNS records, which are enabled through the subdomains_dns_records_enabled variable.

The app also has an IAM service role configured with specific IAM actions, and environment variables set up for each environment. Additionally, the app is configured to use the Atmos Spacelift workspace, as indicated by the workspace_enabled: true setting.

The amplify/example Atmos component extends the amplify/defaults component.

The amplify/example configuration is imported into the stacks/mixins/stage/dev.yaml stack config file to be provisioned in the dev account.

# stacks/mixins/stage/dev.yaml
import:
- catalog/amplify/example

You can execute the following command to provision the Amplify app using Atmos:

atmos terraform apply amplify/example -s <stack>

Inputs

NameDescriptionTypeDefaultRequired
additional_tag_mapAdditional key-value pairs to add to each map in tags_as_list_of_maps. Not added to tags or id.
This is for some rare cases where resources want additional configuration of tags
and therefore take a list of maps with tag key, value, and additional configuration.
map(string){}no
attributesID 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.

If not provided then it will use the amplify.yml at the root of your project / branch.

certificate_verification_dns_record_enabledWhether or not to create DNS records for SSL certificate validation.
If using the DNS zone from dns-delegated, the SSL certificate is already validated, and this variable must be set to false.

contextSingle object for setting entire context at once.
See description of individual variables for details.
Leave string and numeric variables as null to use default value.
Individual variable settings (non-null) override settings in context object,
except for attributes, tags, and additional_tag_map, which are merged.

descriptor_formatsDescribe 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).
