See [optional inputs](./docs/optional_inputs.md) for descriptions.
=======
`branch` is the branch to source. It defaults to `main`.

`mode` is [pipeline execution mode](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/concepts-how-it-works.html#concepts-how-it-works-executions). It defaults to `SUPERSEDED`.`detect_changes` is used with third-party services, like GitHub. It enables AWS CodeConnections to invoke the pipeline when there is a commit to the repo. It defaults to `false`.
## Docs

`kms_key` is the arn of an *existing* AWS KMS key. This input will encrypt the Amazon S3 bucket with a AWS KMS key of your choice. Otherwise the bucket will be encrypted using SSE-S3. Your AWS KMS key policy will need to allow codebuild and codepipeline to `kms:GenerateDataKey*` and `kms:Decrypt`.

`access_logging_bucket` S3 server access logs bucket ARN, enables server access logging on the S3 artifact bucket.

`artifact_retention` controls the S3 artifact bucket retention period. It defaults to 90 (days).

`workspace_directory` enables the use of workspace variable files (eg ./workspaces/<workspace>.tfvars. The input is the directory name that you wish to use. This input is recommended for advanced variable management, where complex and/or signficant amounts of different variables are applied to different AWS accounts.

`codebuild_policy` replaces the [AWSAdministratorAccess](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-managed-policy/latest/reference/AdministratorAccess.html) IAM policy. This can be used if you want to scope the permissions of the pipeline.

`build_timeout` is the CodeBuild project build timeout. It defaults to 10 (minutes).

`terraform_version` controls the terraform version. It defaults to 1.5.7.

`checkov_version` controls the [Checkov](https://www.checkov.io/) version. It defaults to latest.

`tflint_version` controls the [tflint](https://github.com/terraform-linters/tflint) version. It defaults to 0.48.0.

`vpc` configures the CodeBuild projects to [run in a VPC](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/vpc-support.html).

`tags` enables tag validation with [tag-nag](https://github.com/jakebark/tag-nag). Input a list of tag keys and/or tag keys and values to enforce. Input must be passed as a string, see [commands](https://github.com/jakebark/tag-nag?tab=readme-ov-file#commands).

`tagnag_version` controls the [tag-nag](https://github.com/jakebark/tag-nag) version. It defaults to 0.5.8.

`checkov_skip` defines [Checkov](https://www.checkov.io/) skips for the pipeline. This is useful for organization-wide policies, removing the need to add individual resource skips.

## Architecture

![image info](./img/architecture.png)

1. **(1a)** User commits to a third-party repository, this invokes the AWS Codepipeline pipeline; *or* **(1b)** User commits to a CodeCommit repository, this invokes an Amazon EventBridge rule, which runs the pipeline.
2. The pipeline validates the code and then runs a terraform plan against all of the target AWS accounts. Manual approval is then required to run the terraform apply.
3. Resources are deployed to the target AWS accounts using [Terraform Workspaces](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/state/workspaces). Each AWS account is assigned their own Workspace using their AWS Account ID.
4. Artifacts and logs are exported to Amazon S3 and CloudWatch logs.

## Troubleshooting

| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Failed lint or validate | Read the report or logs to discover why the code has failed, then make a new commit. |
| Failed fmt | This means your code is not formatted. Run `terraform fmt --recursive` on your code, then make a new commit. |
| Failed SAST | Read the Checkov logs (Details > Reports) and either make the correction in code or add a skip to the module inputs. |
| Failed plan or apply stage | Read the report or logs to discover error in terraform code, then make a new commit. |
| Pipeline fails on apply with `the action failed because no branch named main was found ...` | Either nothing has been committed to the repo or the branch is incorrect (Eg using `Master` not `Main`). Either commit to the Main branch or change the module input to fix this. |
| `Invalid count argument` for `aws_s3_bucket_server_side_encryption_configuration` | The AWS KMS key must exist before the pipeline is created. If you create both at the same time, there is a dependency issue. |
| Unable to find state file | Check state storage :env > AWS Account ID > backend key |

## Best Practices

Permissions to your CodeCommit repository, CodeBuild projects, and CodePipeline pipeline should be tightly controlled. Here are some ideas:
- [Specify approval permission for specific pipelines and approval actions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codepipeline/latest/userguide/approvals-iam-permissions.html#approvals-iam-permissions-limited)
- [Using identity-based policies for AWS CodeBuild](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/auth-and-access-control-iam-identity-based-access-control.html)
- [Limit pushes and merges to branches in AWS CodeCommit](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codecommit/latest/userguide/how-to-conditional-branch.html)

Checkov skips can be used where Checkov policies conflict with your organization's practices or design decisions. The `checkov_skip` module input allows you to set skips for all resources in your repository. For example, if your organization operates in a single region you may want to add `CKV_AWS_144` (Ensure that S3 bucket has cross-region replication enabled). For individual resource skips, you can still use [inline code comments](https://www.checkov.io/2.Basics/Suppressing%20and%20Skipping%20Policies.html).
