terraform-aws-https-domain-301-redirect

Use case:

You want to perform a https redirect https://domain1.ext to https://domain2.ext without using computing resources.

The best solution we could find when creating this project was:

-> domain1 -> r53 -> cloudfront -> s3 -> domain2

Please note: this is all open source, feel free to submit improvements to the code, I would especially like to be able to process multiple requests at the same time. Moving 'variables' into a standalone file for each request could help wit this.

Run

1. Create an account with Terraform
2. Download and install the CLI
3. Update the backend remote orginization name in the backend.ft file to match your terraform account.
4. Add your AWS IAM details to redirects.tf, make sure the user has all the permisisons needed.
5. From command line run sh run.sh

Special thanks for https://github.com/riboseinc/terraform-aws-s3-cloudfront-redirect who did most of the heavy lifting.

Reset

From time to time your redirect may fail, for example if you dont have a hostfile setup in route53. If the run script fails you can reset the file ready for another run by running the reset.

Note: This removes the last domain details and resets for the next, we can improve the performance of this by moving them into a 'variables' file with the domain name. This will also mean we can run multiple run files at the same time.
