Module: multi-az-subnets

Terraform module for multi-AZ subnets provisioning.

The module creates private and public subnets in the provided Availability Zones.

The public subnets are routed to the Internet Gateway specified by var.igw_id.

nat_gateway_enabled flag controls the creation of NAT Gateways in the public subnets.

The private subnets are routed to the NAT Gateways provided in the var.az_ngw_ids map.

If you are creating subnets inside a VPC, consider using cloudposse/terraform-aws-dynamic-subnets instead.

Usage

locals {
  public_cidr_block  = cidrsubnet(var.cidr_block, 1, 0)
  private_cidr_block = cidrsubnet(var.cidr_block, 1, 1)
}

module "vpc" {
  source = "cloudposse/vpc/aws"
  # Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
  # version = "x.x.x"

  namespace  = var.namespace
  stage      = var.stage
  name       = var.name
  cidr_block = var.cidr_block
}

  source = "cloudposse/multi-az-subnets/aws"
  # Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
  # version = "x.x.x"

  namespace           = var.namespace
  stage               = var.stage
  name                = var.name
  availability_zones  = ["us-east-2a", "us-east-2b", "us-east-2c"]

Examples

Given the following configuration

module "vpc" {
  source = "cloudposse/vpc/aws"
  # Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
  # version = "x.x.x"

  namespace  = var.namespace
  name       = "vpc"
  stage      = var.stage
  cidr_block = var.cidr_block
}

locals {
  public_cidr_block  = cidrsubnet(module.vpc.vpc_cidr_block, 1, 0)
  private_cidr_block = cidrsubnet(module.vpc.vpc_cidr_block, 1, 1)
}

module "public_subnets" {
  source = "cloudposse/multi-az-subnets/aws"
  # Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
  # version = "x.x.x"

  namespace           = var.namespace
  stage               = var.stage
  name                = var.name
  availability_zones  = ["us-east-2a", "us-east-2b", "us-east-2c"]
  vpc_id              = module.vpc.vpc_id
  cidr_block          = local.public_cidr_block
  type                = "public"
  igw_id              = module.vpc.igw_id
  nat_gateway_enabled = "true"
}

module "private_subnets" {
  source = "cloudposse/multi-az-subnets/aws"
  # Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
  # version = "x.x.x"

  namespace           = var.namespace
  stage               = var.stage
  name                = var.name
  availability_zones  = ["us-east-2a", "us-east-2b", "us-east-2c"]
  vpc_id              = module.vpc.vpc_id
  cidr_block          = local.private_cidr_block
  type                = "private"
  az_ngw_ids          = module.public_subnets.az_ngw_ids
}

output "private_az_subnet_ids" {
  value = module.private_subnets.az_subnet_ids
}

output "public_az_subnet_ids" {
  value = module.public_subnets.az_subnet_ids
}

the output Maps of AZ names to subnet IDs look like these

public_az_subnet_ids = {
  us-east-2a = subnet-ea58d78e
  us-east-2b = subnet-556ee131
  us-east-2c = subnet-6f54db0b
}
private_az_subnet_ids = {
  us-east-2a = subnet-376de253
  us-east-2b = subnet-9e53dcfa
  us-east-2c = subnet-a86fe0cc
}

and the created subnet IDs could be found by the AZ names using map["key"] or lookup(map, key, [default]),

for example:

public_az_subnet_ids["us-east-2a"]

lookup(private_az_subnet_ids, "us-east-2b")

Inputs

Name	Description	Type	Default	Required
additional_tag_map	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.	map(string)	{}	no
attributes	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.	list(string)	[]	no
availability_zones	List of Availability Zones (e.g. ['us-east-1a', 'us-east-1b', 'us-east-1c'])	list(string)	n/a	yes
az_ngw_ids	Only for private subnets. Map of AZ names to NAT Gateway IDs that are used as default routes when creating private subnets. You should either supply one NAT Gateway ID for each AZ in var.availability_zones or leave the map empty. If empty, no default egress route will be created and you will have to create your own using aws_route.	map(string)	{}	no
cidr_block	Base CIDR block which is divided into subnet CIDR blocks (e.g. 10.0.0.0/16)	string	n/a	yes
context	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, except for attributes, tags, and additional_tag_map, which are merged.	any	{ "additional_tag_map": {}, "attributes": [], "delimiter": null, "descriptor_formats": {}, "enabled": true, "environment": null, "id_length_limit": null, "label_key_case": null, "label_order": [], "label_value_case": null, "labels_as_tags": [ "unset" ], "name": null, "namespace": null, "regex_replace_chars": null, "stage": null, "tags": {}, "tenant": null }	no
delimiter	Delimiter to be used between ID elements. Defaults to - (hyphen). Set to "" to use no delimiter at all.	string	null	no
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).	any	{}	no
enabled	Set to false to prevent the module from creating any resources	bool	null	no
environment	ID element. Usually used for region e.g. 'uw2', 'us-west-2', OR role 'prod', 'staging', 'dev', 'UAT'	string	null	no
id_length_limit	Limit 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.	number	null	no
igw_id	Internet Gateway ID that is used as a default route when creating public subnets (e.g. igw-9c26a123)	string	""	no
ipv6_cidr_block	Base IPv6 CIDR block which is divided into /64 subnet CIDR blocks	string	null	no
ipv6_enabled	Flag to enable/disable IPv6 creation in public subnets	bool	false	no
label_key_case	Controls 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.	string	null	no
label_order	The 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)	null	no
label_value_case	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.	string	null	no
labels_as_tags	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.	set(string)	[ "default" ]	no
max_subnets	Maximum number of subnets that can be created. The variable is used for CIDR blocks calculation	string	"6"	no
name	ID 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.	string	null	no

private_network_acl_id	Network ACL ID that is added to the private subnets. If empty, a new ACL will be created	string	""	no
private_network_acl_ingress	Egress network ACL rules	list(map(string))	[ { "action": "allow", "cidr_block": "0.0.0.0/0", "from_port": 0, "protocol": "-1", "rule_no": 100, "to_port": 0 } ]	no
public_network_acl_egress	Egress network ACL rules	list(map(string))	[ { "action": "allow", "cidr_block": "0.0.0.0/0", "from_port": 0, "protocol": "-1", "rule_no": 100, "to_port": 0 } ]	no
