Terraform module to provision AmazonMQ resources on AWS

Tip

πŸ‘½ Use Atmos with Terraform

Cloud Posse uses atmos to easily orchestrate multiple environments using Terraform.
Works with Github Actions, Atlantis, or Spacelift.

Watch demo of using Atmos with Terraform
Example of running atmos to manage infrastructure from our Quick Start tutorial.

Introduction

This module provisions the following resources:

  • ActiveMQ broker
  • RabbitMQ broker
  • Security group rules to allow access to the broker

Admin and application users are created and credentials written to SSM if not passed in as variables.

Usage

For a complete example, see examples/complete.

For automated tests of the complete example using bats and Terratest (which tests and deploys the example on AWS), see test.

  module "mq_broker" {
    source = "cloudposse/mq-broker/aws"
    # Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
    # version     = "x.x.x"

    namespace                  = "eg"
    stage                      = "test"
    name                       = "mq-broker"
    apply_immediately          = true
    auto_minor_version_upgrade = true
    deployment_mode            = "ACTIVE_STANDBY_MULTI_AZ"
    engine_type                = "ActiveMQ"
    engine_version             = "5.15.14"
    host_instance_type         = "mq.t3.micro"
    publicly_accessible        = false
    general_log_enabled        = true
    audit_log_enabled          = true
    encryption_enabled         = true
    use_aws_owned_key          = true
    vpc_id                     = var.vpc_id
    subnet_ids                 = var.subnet_ids
    security_groups            = var.security_groups
  }

Important

In Cloud Posse's examples, we avoid pinning modules to specific versions to prevent discrepancies between the documentation and the latest released versions. However, for your own projects, we strongly advise pinning each module to the exact version you're using. This practice ensures the stability of your infrastructure. Additionally, we recommend implementing a systematic approach for updating versions to avoid unexpected changes.

Inputs

Name Description Type Default Required
additional_security_group_rules A list of Security Group rule objects to add to the created security group, in addition to the ones
this module normally creates. (To suppress the module's rules, set create_security_group to false
and supply your own security group(s) via associated_security_group_ids.)
The keys and values of the objects are fully compatible with the aws_security_group_rule resource, except
for security_group_id which will be ignored, and the optional "key" which, if provided, must be unique and known at "plan" time.
For more info see https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/security_group_rule
and https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-security-group.
list(any) [] no
additional_tag_map Additional key-value pairs to add to each map in tags_as_list_of_maps. Not added to tags or id.

The length of this list must be known at "plan" time.
list(string) [] no
allowed_ingress_ports List of TCP ports to allow access to in the created security group.
Default is to allow access to all ports. Set create_security_group to false to disable.
Note: List of ports must be known at "plan" time.
list(number) [] no
allowed_ipv6_cidr_blocks A list of IPv6 CIDRs to allow access to the security group created by this module.
The length of this list must be known at "plan" time.

allowed_security_group_ids A list of IDs of Security Groups to allow access to the security group created by this module.
The length of this list must be known at "plan" time.
list(string) [] no
allowed_security_groups DEPRECATED: Use allowed_security_group_ids instead.
A list of Security Group IDs to to be allowed to connect to the broker instance.
list(string) [] no
apply_immediately Specifies whether any cluster modifications are applied immediately, or during the next maintenance window bool false no
associated_security_group_ids A list of IDs of Security Groups to associate the created resource with, in addition to the created security group.
These security groups will not be modified and, if create_security_group is false, must have rules providing the desired access.
list(string) [] no
attributes ID element. Additional attributes (e.g. workers or cluster) to add to id,
in the order they appear in the list. New attributes are appended to the
end of the list. The elements of the list are joined by the delimiter
and treated as a single ID element.
list(string) [] no
audit_log_enabled Enables audit logging. User management action made using JMX or the ActiveMQ Web Console is logged bool true no
auto_minor_version_upgrade Enables automatic upgrades to new minor versions for brokers, as Apache releases the versions bool false no
context Single object for setting entire context at once.
See description of individual variables for details.
Leave string and numeric variables as null to use default value.
Individual variable settings (non-null) override settings in context object,
except for attributes, tags, and additional_tag_map, which are merged.

string null no
namespace ID element. Usually an abbreviation of your organization name, e.g. 'eg' or 'cp', to help ensure generated IDs are globally unique string null no
preserve_security_group_id When false and security_group_create_before_destroy is true, changes to security group rules
cause a new security group to be created with the new rules, and the existing security group is then
replaced with the new one, eliminating any service interruption.
When true or when changing the value (from false to true or from true to false),
existing security group rules will be deleted before new ones are created, resulting in a service interruption,
but preserving the security group itself.
NOTE: Setting this to true does not guarantee the security group will never be replaced,
it only keeps changes to the security group rules from triggering a replacement.
See the terraform-aws-security-group README for further discussion.
bool false no
publicly_accessible Whether to enable connections from applications outside of the VPC that hosts the broker's subnets bool false no
regex_replace_chars Terraform regular expression (regex) string.
Characters matching the regex will be removed from the ID elements.
If not set, "/[^a-zA-Z0-9-]/" is used to remove all characters other than hyphens, letters and digits.
string null no
security_group_create_before_destroy Set true to enable Terraform create_before_destroy behavior on the created security group.
We only recommend setting this false if you are importing an existing security group
that you do not want replaced and therefore need full control over its name.
Note that changing this value will always cause the security group to be replaced.
bool true no
security_group_create_timeout How long to wait for the security group to be created. string "10m" no
security_group_delete_timeout How long to retry on DependencyViolation errors during security group deletion from
lingering ENIs left by certain AWS services such as Elastic Load Balancing.

security_group_description The description to assign to the created Security Group.
Warning: Changing the description causes the security group to be replaced.
string "Managed by Terraform" no
security_group_name The name to assign to the created security group. Must be unique within the VPC.
If not provided, will be derived from the null-label.context passed in.
If create_before_destroy is true, will be used as a name prefix.
