Module: 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.

Usage

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.

}))
[]no
additional_security_group_rulesA 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.
To get more info see https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/security_group_rule .

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.

allow_self_security_groupWhether the security group itself will be added as a source to this ingress rule.booltrueno

The length of this list must be known at "plan" time.
list(string)[]no
associated_security_group_idsA 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.

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.

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.

create_security_groupSet true to create and configure a new security group. If false, associated_security_group_ids must be provided.booltrueno
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).
any{}no
dns_serversInformation about the DNS servers to be used for DNS resolution. A Client VPN endpoint can have up to two DNS servers. If no DNS server is specified, the DNS address of the connecting device is used.list(string)[]no

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.
numbernullno
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.

secret_path_formatThe path format to use when writing secrets to the certificate backend.
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.
