Variables

Required Variables

region (string) required: AWS Region

Optional Variables

connections optional

A list of objects to define each TGW connections.

By default, each connection will look for only the default vpc component.

Type:

list(object({
account = object({
  stage       = string
  environment = optional(string, "")
  tenant      = optional(string, "")
})
vpc_component_names = optional(list(string), ["vpc"])
eks_component_names = optional(list(string), [])
}))

Default value: [ ]

cross_region_hub_connector_components (map(object({ component = string, environment = string }))) optional

A map of cross-region hub connector components that provide this spoke with the appropriate Transit Gateway attachments IDs.

The key should be the environment that the remote VPC is located in.
The component is the name of the component in the remote region (e.g. tgw/cross-region-hub-connector)
The environment is the region that the cross-region-hub-connector is deployed in.
e.g. the following would configure a component called tgw/cross-region-hub-connector/use1 that is deployed in the
If use2 is the primary region, the following would be its configuration:
use1:
component: "tgw/cross-region-hub-connector"
environment: "use1" (the remote region)
and in the alternate region, the following would be its configuration:
use2:
component: "tgw/cross-region-hub-connector"
environment: "use1" (our own region)

Context Variables

The following variables are defined in the context.tf file of this module and part of the terraform-null-label pattern.

additional_tag_map (map(string)) optional

Additional 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.

Required: No

Default value: { }

attributes (list(string)) optional

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.

Required: No

Default value: [ ]

context (any) optional

Single 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,

Required: No

Default value:

{
  "additional_tag_map": {},
  "attributes": [],
  "delimiter": null,
  "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).

Required: No

Default value: { }

enabled (bool) optional

Set to false to prevent the module from creating any resources
Required: No

Default value: null

environment (string) optional

Required: No

Default value: null

label_value_case (string) optional

Controls the letter case of ID elements (labels) as included in id,
set as tag values, and output by this module individually.
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.

Required: No

Default value: null

labels_as_tags (set(string)) optional

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.
Unlike other null-label inputs, the initial setting of labels_as_tags cannot be
changed in later chained modules. Attempts to change it will be silently ignored.

Required: No

  "default"
]

name (string) optional

ID element. Usually the component or solution name, e.g. 'app' or 'jenkins'.
