Module: mq-broker

Terraform module to provision AmazonMQ resources on AWS

Introduction

This module provisions the following resources:

  • ActiveMQ broker
  • RabbitMQ broker
  • Security group rules to allow access to the broker

Admin and application users are created and credentials written to SSM if not passed in as variables.

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.

Inputs

NameDescriptionTypeDefaultRequired
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(s) 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.
For more info see https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/security_group_rule
and https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-security-group.
list(any)[]no
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
allow_all_egressIf true, the created security group will allow egress on all ports and protocols to all IP addresses.
If this is false and no egress rules are otherwise specified, then no egress will be allowed.
booltrueno
allowed_cidr_blocksA list of IPv4 CIDRs to allow access to the security group created by this module.
The length of this list must be known at "plan" time.
list(string)[]no
allowed_ingress_portsList of TCP ports to allow access to in the created security group.
Default is to allow access to all ports. Set create_security_group to false to disable.
Note: List of ports must be known at "plan" time.
list(number)[]no
allowed_ipv6_cidr_blocksA list of IPv6 CIDRs to allow access to the security group created by this module.
The length of this list must be known at "plan" time.
list(string)[]no
allowed_ipv6_prefix_list_idsA list of IPv6 Prefix Lists IDs to allow access to the security group created by this module.
The length of this list must be known at "plan" time.
list(string)[]no
allowed_security_group_idsA list of IDs of Security Groups to allow access to the security group created by this module.
The length of this list must be known at "plan" time.
list(string)[]no
allowed_security_groupsDEPRECATED: Use allowed_security_group_ids instead.
A list of Security Group IDs to to be allowed to connect to the broker instance.
list(string)[]no
apply_immediatelySpecifies whether any cluster modifications are applied immediately, or during the next maintenance windowboolfalseno
associated_security_group_idsA list of IDs of Security Groups to associate the created resource 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.
list(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.
list(string)[]no
audit_log_enabledEnables audit logging. User management action made using JMX or the ActiveMQ Web Console is loggedbooltrueno
auto_minor_version_upgradeEnables automatic upgrades to new minor versions for brokers, as Apache releases the versionsboolfalseno
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
deployment_modeThe deployment mode of the broker. Supported: SINGLE_INSTANCE and ACTIVE_STANDBY_MULTI_AZstring"ACTIVE_STANDBY_MULTI_AZ"no
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).

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.

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.

stringnullno
namespaceID element. Usually an abbreviation of your organization name, e.g. 'eg' or 'cp', to help ensure generated IDs are globally uniquestringnullno
preserve_security_group_idWhen false and security_group_create_before_destroy is true, changes to security group rules
cause a new security group to be created with the new rules, and the existing security group is then
replaced with the new one, eliminating any service interruption.
When true or when changing the value (from false to true or from true to false),
existing security group rules will be deleted before new ones are created, resulting in a service interruption,
but preserving the security group itself.
NOTE: Setting this to true does not guarantee the security group will never be replaced,
it only keeps changes to the security group rules from triggering a replacement.
See the terraform-aws-security-group README for further discussion.
boolfalseno
publicly_accessibleWhether to enable connections from applications outside of the VPC that hosts the broker's subnetsboolfalseno
regex_replace_charsTerraform regular expression (regex) string.
Characters matching the regex will be removed from the ID elements.
If not set, "/[^a-zA-Z0-9-]/" is used to remove all characters other than hyphens, letters and digits.
stringnullno
security_group_create_before_destroySet true to enable Terraform create_before_destroy behavior on the created security group.
We only recommend setting this false if you are importing an existing security group
that you do not want replaced and therefore need full control over its name.
Note that changing this value will always cause the security group to be replaced.

security_group_nameThe name to assign to the created security group. Must be unique within the VPC.
If not provided, will be derived from the null-label.context passed in.
If create_before_destroy is true, will be used as a name prefix.
