Module: vpc-flow-logs-s3-bucket

Terraform module to create AWS VPC Flow logs backed by S3.

Introduction​

The module will create:

  • S3 bucket with server side encryption
  • KMS key to encrypt flow logs files in the bucket
  • Optional VPC Flow Log backed by the S3 bucket (this can be disabled, e.g. in multi-account environments if you want to create an S3 bucket in one account and VPC Flow Logs in different accounts)

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 Datadog), see test.

  module "vpc" {
    source  = "cloudposse/vpc/aws"
    version = "0.18.0"

    namespace  = "eg"
    stage      = "test"
    name       = "flowlogs"
    cidr_block = "172.16.0.0/16"
  }

  module "flow_logs" {
    source  = "cloudposse/vpc-flow-logs-s3-bucket/aws"
    version = "0.8.0"

    namespace  = "eg"
    stage      = "test"
    name       = "flowlogs"

    vpc_id = module.vpc.vpc_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.


Required: No

Default value: { }

attributes (list(string)) optional

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

and treated as a single ID element.


Required: No

Default value: [ ]

context (any) optional

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,

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).


Required: No

Default value: { }

enabled (bool) optional

Set to false to prevent the module from creating any resources
Required: No

Default value: null

environment (string) optional

Does not affect id_full.


Required: No

Default value: null

label_key_case (string) optional

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.

Required: No

Default value: null

label_value_case (string) optional

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.


Required: No

Default value: null

labels_as_tags (set(string)) optional

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.
