Purpose

This module is designed to output the AWS account ID, partition and region. In addition, it converts AWS region names into a shortened name. The shortened region name is created using a regex that matches the first part, the abbreviated ordinal direction and the numeric identifier. Examples of the region_short output are below.

AWS Region Name	Shortened Name
ap-southeast-1	apse1
eu-central-1	euc1
us-east-1	use1

Note: this conversion does not currently work for regions that contain four parts, like the us-gov-east-1 regions.

Example Usage

locals {
  account_id   = module.platform.account_id
  partition    = module.platform.partition
  region       = module.platform.region
  region_short = module.platform.region_short
}

module "platform" {
  source = "github.com/FormidableLabs/terraform-aws-platform?ref=v0.1"
}

resource "aws_lambda_function" "test_lambda" {
  filename      = "lambda_function_payload.zip"
  function_name = "${local.region_short}-lambda_function_name"
  handler       = "index.test"
  ...

}
