Terraform Kinesis Video Stream

A Terraform module to create a Kinesis video stream.

Usage

To use the module, include something like the following in your Terraform configuration:

module "kinesis_video_stream" {
  source = "infrablocks/kinesis-video-stream/aws"
  component = "kafka-cluster"
  deployment_identifier = "dev"
  stream_name = "webcam"
  retention = 10
 }

See the Terraform registry entry for more details.

Inputs

name	description	default	required
region
stream_name
retention
media_type
tags

Outputs

name	description
cluster_id	the id of the created msk cluster
cluster_name	the name of the created msk cluster
cluster_arn	the arn of the created msk cluster
security_group_id

Compatibility

This module is compatible with Terraform versions greater than or equal to Terraform 1.0.

Development

Machine Requirements

In order for the build to run correctly, a few tools will need to be installed on your development machine:

Ruby (3.1.1)
Bundler
git
git-crypt
gnupg
direnv
aws-vault

Mac OS X Setup

Installing the required tools is best managed by homebrew.

To install homebrew:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Then, to install the required tools:

# ruby
brew install rbenv
brew install ruby-build
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init - bash)"' >> ~/.bash_profile
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init - zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc
eval "$(rbenv init -)"
rbenv install 3.1.1
rbenv rehash
rbenv local 3.1.1
gem install bundler

# git, git-crypt, gnupg
brew install git
brew install git-crypt
brew install gnupg

# aws-vault
brew cask install

# direnv
brew install direnv
echo "$(direnv hook bash)" >> ~/.bash_profile
echo "$(direnv hook zsh)" >> ~/.zshrc
eval "$(direnv hook $SHELL)"

direnv allow <repository-directory>

Running the build

Running the build requires an AWS account and AWS credentials. You are free to configure credentials however you like as long as an access key ID and secret access key are available. These instructions utilise aws-vault which makes credential management easy and secure.

To provision module infrastructure, run tests and then destroy that infrastructure, execute:

aws-vault exec <profile> -- ./go

To provision the module prerequisites:

aws-vault exec <profile> -- ./go deployment:prerequisites:provision[<deployment_identifier>]

To provision the module contents:

aws-vault exec <profile> -- ./go deployment:root:provision[<deployment_identifier>]

To destroy the module contents:

aws-vault exec <profile> -- ./go deployment:root:destroy[<deployment_identifier>]

To destroy the module prerequisites:

aws-vault exec <profile> -- ./go deployment:prerequisites:destroy[<deployment_identifier>]

Configuration parameters can be overridden via environment variables:

DEPLOYMENT_IDENTIFIER=testing aws-vault exec <profile> -- ./go

When a deployment identifier is provided via an environment variable, infrastructure will not be destroyed at the end of test execution. This can be useful during development to avoid lengthy provision and destroy cycles.

By default, providers will be downloaded for each terraform execution. To cache providers between calls:

TF_PLUGIN_CACHE_DIR="$HOME/.terraform.d/plugin-cache" aws-vault exec <profile> -- ./go

Common Tasks

Generating an SSH key pair

To generate an SSH key pair:

ssh-keygen -m PEM -t rsa -b 4096 -C integration-test@example.com -N '' -f config/secrets/keys/bastion/ssh

Generating a self-signed certificate

To generate a self signed certificate:

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365

To decrypt the resulting key:

openssl rsa -in key.pem -out ssl.key

Managing CircleCI keys

To encrypt a GPG key for use by CircleCI:

openssl aes-256-cbc \
  -e \
  -md sha1 \
  -in ./config/secrets/ci/gpg.private \
  -out ./.circleci/gpg.private.enc \
  -k "<passphrase>"

To check decryption is working correctly:

openssl aes-256-cbc \
  -d \
  -md sha1 \
  -in ./.circleci/gpg.private.enc \
  -k "<passphrase>"
