terraform-aws-backend

This terraform module implements what is described in the Terraform S3 Backend documentation.

S3 Encryption is enabled and Public Access policies used to ensure security.

This module is expected to be deployed to a 'master' AWS account so that you can start using remote state as soon as possible. As this module creates the remote state backend, its statefile needs to be commited to git as it cannot be stored remotely. No sensetive information should be present in this file.

It is also expected that you check the statefile for this module into git to avoid the chicken and egg problem.

The following resources will be created:

Encrypted S3 Bucket - Used to store Terraform state files
- This bucket
  - Block public acls
  - Block public policy
  - Ignore public acls
  - Restrict public buckets
AWS DynamoDB Table - Used for workspace locking
Identity and Access Management (IAM) - Backend All - Role that Allows access to all Terraform workspaces
Identity and Acesss Management (IAM) - Backend restricted - These roles are limited to their specific workspace through the use of S3 resource permissions

Resources

Name	Resource	Description
<prefix>-terraform-backend	S3 Bucket	Used to store Terraform state files
terraform-lock	DynamoDB Table	Used for workspace locking
terraform-backend	IAM Role	Role created that has access to all terraform workspaces
terraform-backend-<workspace>	IAM Role	Role created that only has access to the specified workspace

Requirements

Name	Version
terraform	>= 0.13.0

Providers

Name	Version
aws	>= 4.0.0

Inputs

Name	Description	Type	Default	Required
assume_policy	A map that allows you to specify additional AWS principles that will be added to the backend roles assume role policy	`map(string)`	`{}`	no
bucket_prefix	A prefix applied to the S3 bucket created to ensure a unique name.	`string`	n/a	yes
bucket_sse_algorithm	Encryption algorithm to use on the S3 bucket. Currently only AES256 is supported	`string`	`"AES256"`	no
workspaces	A list of terraform workspaces that IAM Roles/Policy will be created for	`list(string)`	n/a	yes

Outputs

Name	Description
dynamo_lock_table	n/a
iam_roles	n/a
state_bucket_arn	n/a

Assume Role Policy

The assume_role_policy by default will be set to the current account ID. This is primarily so can you can use the roles while your 'identity' account is under construction. Once your identity account is available you should specify the required assume_role_policy and the default will be removed.

Due to terraform lookup() only supporting string returns this cant be a list and needs to be specified as a string with principles seperated by commas in the event multiple entries are required.

  assume_policy = {
   prod    = "arn:aws:iam::xxxxxxxxxxxx:root,arn:aws:iam::yyyyyyyyyyyy:root"
   nonprod = "arn:aws:iam::xxxxxxxxxxxx:root,arn:aws:iam::yyyyyyyyyyyy:root"
   sandpit = "arn:aws:iam::xxxxxxxxxxxx:root,arn:aws:iam::yyyyyyyyyyyy:root"
  }
