Documentation
aws-aurora
Aurora PostgreSQL/MySQL cluster with instances, parameter groups, Serverless v2
scaling, and enhanced monitoring — ready to run db.serverless out of the box
or any provisioned instance class. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu
(>= 1.6), AWS provider >= 6.0, < 7.0.
Secure defaults:
- Storage always encrypted (AWS-managed
aws/rdskey, or your CMK viakms_key_arn) - Master password generated by RDS and stored in Secrets Manager — never in state
- Instances are never publicly accessible; dedicated subnet group on your private subnets
- Deletion protection on and final snapshot kept (both overridable for test stacks)
- 7-day automated backups, tags copied to snapshots, auto minor version upgrades
- Dedicated cluster and instance parameter groups — never the shared AWS defaults
- Enhanced monitoring: set
monitoring_interval > 0and the module creates the IAM role
Serverless v2 is the default posture: instance_class = "db.serverless" plus a
serverlessv2_scaling ACU band (0.5–4 by default). Switch to a provisioned
class (e.g. db.r6g.large) and set serverlessv2_scaling = null for a classic
cluster. Instance 1 is the writer; additional instances are readers with
ascending promotion tiers.
Requirements

Related modules
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.
