Terraform module to provision an AWS CloudFront CDN with an S3 origin.
This project is part of our comprehensive "SweetOps" approach towards DevOps.
It's 100% Open Source and licensed under the APACHE2.
We literally have hundreds of terraform modules that are Open Source and well-maintained. Check them out!
Security scanning is graciously provided by Bridgecrew. Bridgecrew is the leading fully hosted, cloud-native solution providing continuous Terraform security and compliance.
IMPORTANT: We do not pin modules to versions in our examples because of the difficulty of keeping the versions in the documentation in sync with the latest released versions. We highly recommend that in your code you pin the version to the exact version you are using so that your infrastructure remains stable, and update versions in a systematic way so that they do not catch you by surprise.
Also, because of a bug in the Terraform registry (hashicorp/terraform#21417), the registry shows many of our inputs as required when in fact they are optional. The table below correctly indicates which inputs are required.
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 "cdn" {
source = "cloudposse/cloudfront-s3-cdn/aws"
# Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
# version = "x.x.x"
namespace = "eg"
stage = "prod"
name = "app"
aliases = ["assets.cloudposse.com"]
dns_alias_enabled = true
parent_zone_name = "cloudposse.com"
}
Use the AWS cli to request new ACM certifiates (requires email validation)
aws acm request-certificate --domain-name example.com --subject-alternative-names a.example.com b.example.com *.c.example.com
NOTE:
Although AWS Certificate Manager is supported in many AWS regions, to use an SSL certificate with CloudFront, it should be requested only in US East (N. Virginia) region.
If you want to require HTTPS between viewers and CloudFront, you must change the AWS region to US East (N. Virginia) in the AWS Certificate Manager console before you request or import a certificate.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/acm/latest/userguide/acm-regions.html
To use an ACM Certificate with Amazon CloudFront, you must request or import the certificate in the US East (N. Virginia) region. ACM Certificates in this region that are associated with a CloudFront distribution are distributed to all the geographic locations configured for that distribution.
This is a fundamental requirement of CloudFront, and you will need to request the certificate in us-east-1
region.
If there are warnings around the outputs when destroying using this module.
Then you can use this method for supressing the superfluous errors.

static_s3_bucket | aws-cli is a bucket owned by amazon that will perminantly exist. It allows for the data source to be called during the destruction process without failing. It doesn't get used for anything else, this is a safe workaround for handling the fact that if a data source like the one aws_s3_bucket.selected gets an error, you can't continue the terraform processwhich also includes the 'destroy' command, where is doesn't even need this data source! Don't change this bucket name, it's a variable so that we can provide this description. And this works around a problem that is an edge case. |
