cloudposse/terraform-aws-vpc-flow-logs-s3-bucket

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

Tip

👽 Use Atmos with Terraform

Cloud Posse uses atmos to easily orchestrate multiple environments using Terraform.
Works with Github Actions, Atlantis, or Spacelift.

Watch demo of using Atmos with Terraform

Example of running atmos to manage infrastructure from our Quick Start tutorial.

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
  }

Important

In Cloud Posse's examples, we avoid pinning modules to specific versions to prevent discrepancies between the documentation and the latest released versions. However, for your own projects, we strongly advise pinning each module to the exact version you're using. This practice ensures the stability of your infrastructure. Additionally, we recommend implementing a systematic approach for updating versions to avoid unexpected changes.

Inputs

Name	Description	Type	Default	Required
access_log_bucket_name	Name of the S3 bucket where S3 access log will be sent to	`string`	`""`	no
access_log_bucket_prefix	Prefix to prepend to the current S3 bucket name, where S3 access logs will be sent to	`string`	`"logs/"`	no
acl	The canned ACL to apply. We recommend log-delivery-write for compatibility with AWS services	`string`	`"log-delivery-write"`	no
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
allow_ssl_requests_only	Set to `true` to require requests to use Secure Socket Layer (HTTPS/SSL). This will explicitly deny access to HTTP requests	`bool`	`true`	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
bucket_key_enabled	Set this to true to use Amazon S3 Bucket Keys for SSE-KMS, which may reduce the number of AWS KMS requests. For more information, see: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/bucket-key.html	`bool`	`true`	no
bucket_name	Bucket name. If not provided, the bucket will be created with a name generated from the context.	`string`	`""`	no
bucket_notifications_enabled	Send notifications for the object created events. Used for 3rd-party log collection from a bucket	`bool`	`false`	no
bucket_notifications_prefix	Prefix filter. Used to manage object notifications	`string`	`""`	no
bucket_notifications_type	Type of the notification configuration. Only SQS is supported.	`string`	`"SQS"`	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`	{ "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
expiration_days	(Deprecated, use `lifecycle_configuration_rules` instead) Number of days after which to expunge the objects	`number`	`null`	no
flow_log_enabled	Enable/disable the Flow Log creation. Useful in multi-account environments where the bucket is in one account, but VPC Flow Logs are in different accounts	`bool`	`true`	no
force_destroy	A boolean that indicates all objects should be deleted from the bucket so that the bucket can be destroyed without error. These objects are not recoverable	`bool`	`false`	no
glacier_transition_days	(Deprecated, use `lifecycle_configuration_rules` instead) Number of days after which to move the data to the Glacier Flexible Retrieval storage tier	`number`	`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
kms_key_arn	ARN (or alias) of KMS that will be used for s3 bucket encryption.	`string`	`""`	no
kms_policy_source_json	Additional IAM policy document that can optionally be merged with default created KMS policy	`string`	`""`	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
lifecycle_configuration_rules	A list of lifecycle V2 rules	list(object({ enabled = bool id = string abort_incomplete_multipart_upload_days = number # `filter_and` is the `and` configuration block inside the `filter` configuration. # This is the only place you should specify a prefix. filter_and = optional(object({ object_size_greater_than = optional(number) # integer >= 0 object_size_less_than = optional(number) # integer >= 1 prefix = optional(string) tags = optional(map(string)) })) expiration = optional(object({ date = optional(string) # string, RFC3339 time format, GMT days = optional(number) # integer > 0 expired_object_delete_marker = optional(bool) })) noncurrent_version_expiration = optional(object({ newer_noncurrent_versions = optional(number) # integer > 0 noncurrent_days = optional(number) # integer >= 0 })) transition = optional(list(object({ date = optional(string) # string, RFC3339 time format, GMT days = optional(number) # integer >= 0 storage_class = string # string/enum, one of GLACIER, STANDARD_IA, ONEZONE_IA, INTELLIGENT_TIERING, DEEP_ARCHIVE, GLACIER_IR. })), []) noncurrent_version_transition = optional(list(object({ newer_noncurrent_versions = optional(number) # integer >= 0 noncurrent_days = optional(number) # integer >= 0 storage_class = string # string/enum, one of GLACIER, STANDARD_IA, ONEZONE_IA, INTELLIGENT_TIERING, DEEP_ARCHIVE, GLACIER_IR. })), []) }))	`[]`	no
lifecycle_prefix	(Deprecated, use `lifecycle_configuration_rules` instead) Prefix filter. Used to manage object lifecycle events	`string`	`null`	no
lifecycle_rule_enabled	DEPRECATED: Use `lifecycle_configuration_rules` instead. When `true`, configures lifecycle events on this bucket using individual (now deprecated) variables. When `false`, lifecycle events are not configured using individual (now deprecated) variables, but `lifecycle_configuration_rules` still apply. When `null`, lifecycle events are configured using individual (now deprecated) variables only if `lifecycle_configuration_rules` is empty.	`bool`	`null`	no
