Documentation
aws-client-vpn
Client VPN endpoint with certificate or SAML authentication, split tunnelling,
per-group authorization rules, extra routes and connection logging. Works with
Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), AWS provider >= 6.0, < 7.0.
Defaults worth knowing:
- Split tunnelling is on. With it off, every packet from every connected laptop - video calls, OS updates - crosses the endpoint and is billed per GB. Full tunnelling is a defensible security choice and should be a deliberate one, not something found on an invoice
- There is no allow-all shortcut. An endpoint with no authorization rule
reaches nothing: confusing, and safe. The dangerous shape is
0.0.0.0/0granted to every group, and this module makes you write that out per target network - Authentication is required at plan time: an endpoint with neither a client certificate chain nor a SAML provider cannot authenticate anybody, so the variable validation refuses it
- Sessions expire after 8 hours by default, forcing reauthentication
- Connection logging is prominent because without it nobody can answer who was connected and when
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.

Related modules
aws-vpc-lattice
auth_type defaults to NONE, so any client in any associated VPC can call any service with no identity and no policy - and associating one more VPC silently grants everything in it. Defaults to AWS_IAM and requires per-VPC security groups.
aws-vpc-peering
A VPC peering between two VPCs in one account and region, accepted in the same apply, with DNS resolution across it and routes written in every listed route table on both sides for every CIDR of the other. A default route through a peering is refused (CKV2_AWS_44). Peering is not transitive; past a handful of VPCs the transit gateway is the product.
aws-cloud-map
Private DNS, public DNS or API-only namespaces and the services registered in them. Documents the health-check trap: a private namespace gets a custom check that something else must update, and one nobody updates reports healthy forever.
aws-cloud-wan
A global network whose segments, routing and attachment placement live in one policy document rather than per-region route tables. The policy VERSION is executed as a second step, so a change cannot report success while the network still runs the previous one.
aws-direct-connect
Gateway, connections, virtual interfaces and associations. A private circuit is a private path, not a private conversation: traffic crosses it in clear text unless MACsec is on, and should_encrypt quietly falls back to clear text.
aws-ipam
Amazon VPC IPAM with a top-level pool, a pool per region with netmask bounds and required tags, and optional sharing through AWS RAM. IPAM forces nothing on its own - a VPC can still take a hand-typed CIDR - so the module outputs the SCP AWS documents for requiring a pool. The provider defaults to the Advanced tier, billed per active IP, so the tier has no default here.
