This Terraform module facilitates the creation of an AWS Elastic File System, complete with the capability to incorporate additional configurations.

• Ensures adherence to AWS security standards through the integration of checkov for code compliance scanning.
• The following features are included in the module:
  • Module based security group with dynamic rule configuration capabilities
  • EFS file system policy feature which can be customized further depending on the required permissions
  • EFS backup policy
  • Encryption
• Provides ease of setup and utilization through clear instructions and examples.

Examples available here

Note on Seurity Group Usage

• To create a security group for efs using this module set the create_security_group argument to true
• To provide custom security group rules for the security group created by the module use the security_group_ingress block (see complete example).
• To provide external security group that is already configured for efs use the external_security_groups block and provide the security group IDs.
• This allows you to use one or more security groups

NOTE: These examples use the latest version of this module

module "complete_efs" {
  source         = "boldlink/efs/aws"
  version        = "<provide_module_version_here>"
  creation_token = "minimum-efs-example"
  tags = {
    Environment        = "examples"
    "user::CostCenter" = "terraform-registry"
  }
}

No modules.

This repository uses third party software:

• pre-commit - Used to help ensure code and documentation consistency
  • Install with brew install pre-commit
  • Manually use with pre-commit run
• terraform 0.14.11 For backwards compatibility we are using version 0.14.11 for testing making this the min version tested and without issues with terraform-docs.
• terraform-docs - Used to generate the Inputs and Outputs sections
  • Install with brew install terraform-docs
  • Manually use via pre-commit
• tflint - Used to lint the Terraform code
  • Install with brew install tflint
  • Manually use via pre-commit

The example stacks are used by BOLDLink developers to validate the modules by building an actual stack on AWS.

Some of the modules have dependencies on other modules (ex. Ec2 instance depends on the VPC module) so we create them first and use data sources on the examples to use the stacks.

Any supporting resources will be available on the tests/supportingResources and the lifecycle is managed by the Makefile targets.

Resources on the tests/supportingResources folder are not intended for demo or actual implementation purposes, and can be used for reference.

The makefile contained in this repo is optimized for linux paths and the main purpose is to execute testing for now.

• Create all tests stacks including any supporting resources:

make tests

• Clean all tests except existing supporting resources:

make clean

• Clean supporting resources - this is done separately so you can test your module build/modify/destroy independently.

make cleansupporting

• !!!DANGER!!! Clean the state files from examples and test/supportingResources - use with CAUTION!!!

make cleanstatefiles
