From 7454c76c50868aa0718c33cc6ac93ed84ba4720c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Javier Castiarena Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 14:45:34 -0300 Subject: [PATCH 01/12] feat(iam): add Pod Identity support to cert-manager and external-dns modules Add identity_mode variable ('irsa' default | 'pod_identity') to both modules. Pod Identity mode creates a native aws_iam_role with pods.eks.amazonaws.com trust and aws_eks_pod_identity_association resources instead of the OIDC community module.

address pod identity review findings - Use one(resource[*].attr) instead of resource[0].attr in for_each bodies and outputs to avoid plan errors when count = 0 - Make aws_iam_openid_connect_provider_arn optional (default null) with cross-variable validation requiring it only for irsa mode - Add destructive mode-switch warning to identity_mode description - Add

Re-enable it and fix the expect_failures tests to target the terraform_data.provider_validation resource (validation lives in preconditions, not variable validation blocks) and use empty strings instead of null. Add nullable = false to the AWS string variables so an explicit null fails clearly instead of crashing length(). Recovers 9 tests, including aws_pod_identity_omits_role_annotation.
