Component: vpc

This component is responsible for provisioning a VPC and corresponding Subnets. Additionally, VPC Flow Logs can optionally be enabled for auditing purposes. See the existing VPC configuration documentation for the provisioned subnets.

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
assign_generated_ipv6_cidr_blockWhen true, assign AWS generated IPv6 CIDR block to the VPC. Conflicts with ipv6_ipam_pool_id.boolfalseno
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.
list(string)[]no
availability_zone_idsList of Availability Zones IDs where subnets will be created. Overrides availability_zones.
Can be the full name, e.g. use1-az1, or just the part after the AZ ID region code, e.g. -az1,
to allow reusable values across regions. Consider contention for resources and spot pricing in each AZ when selecting.
Useful in some regions when using only some AZs and you want to use the same ones across multiple accounts.
list(string)[]no
availability_zonesList of Availability Zones (AZs) where subnets will be created. Ignored when availability_zone_ids is set.
Can be the full name, e.g. us-east-1a, or just the part after the region, e.g. a to allow reusable values across regions.
The order of zones in the list must be stable or else Terraform will continually make changes.
If no AZs are specified, then max_subnet_count AZs will be selected in alphabetical order.
If max_subnet_count > 0 and length(var.availability_zones) > max_subnet_count, the list
will be truncated. We recommend setting availability_zones and max_subnet_count explicitly as constant
(not computed) values for predictability, consistency, and stability.
list(string)[]no
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.

delimiterDelimiter to be used between ID elements.
Defaults to - (hyphen). Set to "" to use no delimiter at all.
stringnullno
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).

id_length_limitLimit id to this many characters (minimum 6).
Set to 0 for unlimited length.
Set to null for keep the existing setting, which defaults to 0.
Does not affect id_full.

ipv4_additional_cidr_block_associationsIPv4 CIDR blocks to assign to the VPC.
ipv4_cidr_block can be set explicitly, or set to null with the CIDR block derived from ipv4_ipam_pool_id using ipv4_netmask_length.
Map keys must be known at plan time, and are only used to track changes.
map(object({
ipv4_cidr_block = string
ipv4_ipam_pool_id = string
ipv4_netmask_length = number
}))
{}no
ipv4_cidr_block_association_timeoutsTimeouts (in go duration format) for creating and destroying IPv4 CIDR block associations

create = string

ipv4_cidrsLists of CIDRs to assign to subnets. Order of CIDRs in the lists must not change over time.
Lists may contain more CIDRs than needed.
list(object({
private = list(string)
public = list(string)
}))
[]no
ipv4_primary_cidr_blockThe primary IPv4 CIDR block for the VPC.
Either ipv4_primary_cidr_block or ipv4_primary_cidr_block_association must be set, but not both.
stringnullno
ipv4_primary_cidr_block_associationConfiguration of the VPC's primary IPv4 CIDR block via IPAM. Conflicts with ipv4_primary_cidr_block.
One of ipv4_primary_cidr_block or ipv4_primary_cidr_block_association must be set.
Additional CIDR blocks can be set via ipv4_additional_cidr_block_associations.
object({
ipv4_ipam_pool_id = string
ipv4_netmask_length = number
})
nullno
label_key_caseControls the letter case of the tags keys (label names) for tags generated by this module.
Does not affect keys of tags passed in via the tags input.
Possible values: lower, title, upper.
Default value: title.
stringnullno
label_orderThe order in which the labels (ID elements) appear in the id.
Defaults to ["namespace", "environment", "stage", "name", "attributes"].
You can omit any of the 6 labels ("tenant" is the 6th), but at least one must be present.
list(string)nullno
label_value_caseControls 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.
stringnullno
labels_as_tagsSet 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.

nameID element. Usually the component or solution name, e.g. 'app' or 'jenkins'.
This is the only ID element not also included as a tag.
The "name" tag is set to the full id string. There is no tag with the value of the name input.

nat_instance_ami_idA list optionally containing the ID of the AMI to use for the NAT instance.
If the list is empty (the default), the latest official AWS NAT instance AMI

does not support NAT64. Use of a NAT gateway is recommended instead.
