AWSStatic-verified

A Workgroup whose Settings Are Binding

Query results are a copy of the data, written to S3. Without enforce_workgroup_configuration - the AWS default - a client sends its own location and encryption and every setting becomes a suggestion.

Documentation

aws-athena

An Athena workgroup: where the queries run, what they may cost, and where the answers land. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), AWS provider >= 6.0, < 7.0.

Query results are a copy of the data. Every query writes its result set to S3, and that bucket is usually not the carefully-governed one holding the source. A workgroup pointed at a shared scratch bucket quietly builds a second, ungoverned copy of whatever anybody has ever selected. That is why the result location and its encryption are the substance of this module rather than the SQL.

enforce_workgroup_configuration is what makes any of it real. Off - the AWS default - the workgroup's settings are a suggestion: a client may send its own output location and its own encryption setting, and Athena uses theirs. Every control here becomes advisory. It defaults to on, and settings_are_binding is an output so the answer is visible.

bytes_scanned_cutoff_per_query is the only thing between a typo and a bill. Athena charges per byte scanned; a missing partition predicate on a large table is one query that scans everything, and nothing stops it by default. This module sets 10 GiB and a precondition refuses null unless you say you meant it.

Two smaller things it handles:

  • enable_minimum_encryption_configuration refuses a query whose results would be unencrypted even when enforcement is off - a second, independent floor
  • acl_configuration with BUCKET_OWNER_FULL_CONTROL when writing into another account's bucket. Without it the objects stay owned by this account and the bucket owner cannot read their own data

Note that a client which does not pass the workgroup name runs in primary, where none of this applies. Grant athena:StartQueryExecution scoped to this workgroup.

Verification

Static validation runs tofu fmt, init, validate, tflint and checkov. This module has not yet had a live test, so it is published as statically validated with its live test pending and does not carry the live-tested mark.

aws-keyspaces

point_in_time_recovery defaults to DISABLED and Keyspaces has no snapshots or automated backups, so off means a dropped table is simply gone. PITR on, a customer-managed key, and the two one-way doors - client-side timestamps and TTL - named rather than set quietly.

aws-database-proxy

Amazon RDS Proxy in front of an RDS instance or Aurora cluster: TLS required, clients authenticate with IAM tokens while the proxy reads the password from Secrets Manager, through a role limited to those secrets. Debug logging writes SQL statement text to the logs, so it is off unless that is accepted. End-to-end IAM removes the stored password entirely.

aws-dax-cache

DynamoDB Accelerator with TLS and encryption at rest. DAX leaves both off by default, and neither can be turned on for an existing cluster, so a fix means a new cluster. This module also creates its own security group (DAX otherwise uses the VPC default), a service role limited to the named tables and their indexes, and states that writes bypassing DAX leave stale reads until the TTL.

aws-neptune

Neptune has no user, no password and no GRANT. Authorization is IAM and it defaults to OFF, so anything that can reach port 8182 can read every edge and drop the lot. IAM auth on, storage encrypted, and the audit log driven from one variable because its two halves live in different resources and either alone logs nothing.

aws-dms

ssl_mode defaults to none in AWS, so a task reads your entire production database and writes it elsewhere unencrypted. This defaults to require, refuses none unless stated, and pushes the credential into Secrets Manager rather than state.

aws-quicksight

A QuickSight subscription on Enterprise edition through IAM Identity Center, with admin, author and reader groups, termination protection on because unsubscribing deletes every dashboard, and a VPC connection with its own role so a private database stays private. The authentication method is permanent; Standard edition and QuickSight-managed users are accepted by name.
