Module: ses
Terraform module to provision Simple Email Service on AWS.
Usage
This module creates a SES domain with IAM user that is able to send emails with it. If module is provided with Route53 Zone ID it can also create verification DNS records for domain and DKIM.
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.
What's worth to note is that every AWS SES starts in Sandbox. Sending emails via it (emails not verified in AWS SES) is only allowed after support request.
SES availability in regions can be checked in latest AWS General Reference

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 |
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 |
| no |
create_spf_record | If provided the module will create an SPF record for domain . | bool | false | no |
custom_from_behavior_on_mx_failure | The behaviour of the custom_from_subdomain when the MX record is not found. Defaults to UseDefaultValue . | string | "UseDefaultValue" | no |
custom_from_subdomain | If provided the module will create a custom subdomain for the From address. | list(string) | [] | 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 beidentical to how they appear in id .Default is {} (descriptors output will be empty). | any | {} | no |
domain | The domain to create the SES identity for. | string | n/a | yes |
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 |
iam_access_key_max_age | Maximum age of IAM access key (seconds). Defaults to 30 days. Set to 0 to disable expiration. | number | 2592000 | no |
iam_allowed_resources | Specifies resource ARNs that are enabled for var.iam_permissions . Wildcards are acceptable. | list(string) | [] | no |
iam_permissions | Specifies permissions for the IAM user. | list(string) |
| 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 |
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 bechanged in later chained modules. Attempts to change it will be silently ignored. | set(string) |
| 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 |

Outputs
Name | Description |
---|---|
access_key_id | The SMTP user which is access key ID. |
custom_from_domain | The custom mail FROM domain |
secret_access_key | The IAM secret for usage with SES API. This will be written to the state file in plain text. |
ses_dkim_tokens | A list of DKIM Tokens which, when added to the DNS Domain as CNAME records, allows for receivers to verify that emails were indeed authorized by the domain owner. |
ses_domain_identity_arn | The ARN of the SES domain identity |
ses_domain_identity_verification_token | A code which when added to the domain as a TXT record will signal to SES that the owner of the domain has authorised SES to act on their behalf. The domain identity will be in state 'verification pending' until this is done. See below for an example of how this might be achieved when the domain is hosted in Route 53 and managed by Terraform. Find out more about verifying domains in Amazon SES in the AWS SES docs. |
ses_group_name | The IAM group name |
ses_smtp_password | The SMTP password. This will be written to the state file in plain text. |
spf_record | The SPF record for the domain. This is a TXT record that should be added to the domain's DNS settings to allow SES to send emails on behalf of the domain. |
user_arn | The ARN assigned by AWS for this user. |
user_name | Normalized IAM user name. |
user_unique_id | The unique ID assigned by AWS. |
