Module: github-action-token-rotator
This module deploys a lambda function that runs as a GitHub Application and periodically gets a new GitHub Runner Registration Token from the GitHub API. This token is then stored in AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store.
Usage
module "github_action_token_rotator" {
source = "cloudposse/github-action-token-rotator/aws"
# Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
# version = "x.x.x"
parameter_store_token_path = "/github/runners/cloudposse/registrationToken"
parameter_store_private_key_path = "/github/runners/cloudposse/privateKey"
github_app_id = "111111"
github_app_installation_id = "22222222"
github_org = "cloudposse"
}
Quick Start
- Browse to https://github.com/organizations/\{YOUR_ORG\}/settings/apps and click the New GitHub App button
- Set the name to "GitHub Action Token Rotator"
- Set the Homepage URL to
https://github.com/cloudposse/lambda-github-action-token-rotator
- Uncheck the Active checkbox under the Webhook heading
- Select
Read and write
under Organization permissions -> Self-hosted runners - Click the Create GitHub App button at the bottom of the page
- Under the
Client secrets
section, click theGenerate a new client secret
button - Copy the Client secret to a safe place, it will be needed to install the app
- Under the
Private key
section, click theGenerate a private key
button - Download the private key to a safe place, it will be needed to install the app
- Convert the private key to a PEM file using the following command:
openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -inform PEM -outform PEM -nocrypt -in {DOWNLOADED_FILE_NAME}.pem -out private-key-pkcs8.key
- Base64 encode the private key using the following command:
cat private-key-pkcs8.key | base64
- Copy the Base64 value to AWS SSM Parameter store at
/github/runners/${YOUR_GITHUB_ORG}/privateKey

file of this module and part of the terraform-null-label pattern.additional_tag_map
(map(string)
) optionalAdditional key-value pairs to add to each map in
tags_as_list_of_maps
. Not added totags
orid
.
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)
) optionalID element. Additional attributes (e.g.
workers
orcluster
) to add toid
,
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 thedelimiter
and treated as a single ID element.Required: No
Default value:
[ ]
context
(any
) optionalSingle object for setting entire context at once.
See description of individual variables for details.
Leave string and numeric variables asnull
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.Required: No
Default value:
{
"additional_tag_map": {},
"attributes": [],
"delimiter": null,
"descriptor_formats": {},
"enabled": true,
"environment": null,

"labels_as_tags": [
"unset"
],
"name": null,
"namespace": null,
"regex_replace_chars": null,
"stage": null,

}delimiter
(string
) optionalDelimiter to be used between ID elements.
Defaults to-
(hyphen). Set to""
to use no delimiter at all.Required: No
Default value:
null
descriptor_formats
(any
) optionalDescribe 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 isany
so the map values can later be enhanced to provide additional options.)
format
is a Terraform format string to be passed to theformat()
function.
labels
is a list of labels, in order, to pass toformat()
function.
Label values will be normalized before being passed toformat()
so they will be
identical to how they appear inid
.
Default is{}

output will be empty).Required: No
Default value:
{ }

,upper
andnone
(no transformation).
Set this totitle

.Required: No
Default value:
