terraform s3 module

Requirements

• aws cli (with working credentials)

Goal

Creating a S3 Bucket with a list of "main/root" folders and also subfolders from a list for each "main/root" folder. Following this example you'll get the following folder structure for your S3 Bucket:

|_ foo
	|_ one
	|_ two
	|_ three
	|_ four
	|_ five
	|_ six
|_ bar
	|_ one
	|_ two
	|_ three
	|_ four
	|_ five
	|_ six
|_ baz
	|_ one
	|_ two
	|_ three
	|_ four
	|_ five
	|_ six

Install terraform

On Mac:

brew tap hashicorp/tap
brew install hashicorp/tap/terraform

Create your terraform base Structure

I would advise you to start with this:

.
├── config
│   └── aws-dev.tfvars
├── main.tf
├── outputs.tf
└── variables.tf

1 directory, 4 files

tfvars

"config" is home for different *.tfvars files in different environments. In this example we're starting with one *.tfvars file.

aws-dev.tfvars

Please put the following code in your aws-dev.tfvars:

profile		= "default"
region		= "eu-central-1"

tags = {
  environment     = "testing"
  team            = "terraformers"
  project         = "aws"
}

Optional

Install terragrunt Mac:

brew install terragrunt

and split your config into something like:

.
└── config
    └── aws-dev
        ├── common.tfvars
        └── region.tfvars

In your root folder (where your main.tf is located) create "terragrunt.hcl" with this content:

terraform {
  extra_arguments "common_vars" {
    commands = ["plan", "apply"]

    arguments = [
      "-var-file=config/aws-dev/region.tfvars",
      "-var-file=config/aws-dev/common.tfvars"
    ]
  }
}

main.tf

Create the main.tf with the following code:

provider "aws" {
  profile = var.profile
  region  = var.region
  version = "3.12.0"
}

module "s3" {
  source      = "git@github.com:terraform-cloud-aws-modules/s3.git"
  bucketname  = "INSERT-YOUR-BUCKET-NAME-HERE"
  rootlevelfolder = ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
  sublevelfolder  = ["one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six"]
  tags = var.tags
}

variables.tf

You have to declare variables from tfvars file like:

variable "profile" {
  type        = string
  description = "provider profile"
}

variable "region" {
  type        = string
  description = "provider region"
}

variable "tags" {
    type        = map
    description = "Tags used for AWS resources"
}

outputs.tf

You can use the outputs from the module in this file like:

output "bucket_id" {
    value = module.s3.this_s3_bucket_id
}

output "bucket_arn" {
    value = module.s3.this_s3_bucket_arn
}

output "bucket_region" {
    value = module.s3.this_s3_bucket_region
}

terraform init & run

You can now run

terraform init

and then run plan or apply with tfvars file like:

terraform plan -var-file=config/aws-dev.tfvars

or if you had installed terragrunt, just run:

terragrunt init
terragrunt plan
