Glue with Encrypted Job Bookmarks
A bookmark records exactly where a job reached in your data - which partitions, which keys - and it is written in plain text unless a security configuration says otherwise. That configuration is attached at job CREATION, so adding one later means rebuilding every job.

Documentation
aws-glue
A Glue catalog database, the crawlers that fill it, the jobs that read it, and
the security configuration without which none of it is encrypted. Works with
Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), AWS provider >= 6.0, < 7.0.
Job bookmarks are the part nobody encrypts. A bookmark records exactly where a job got to in your data - which partitions, which keys, which offsets - and it is written in plain text unless a security configuration says otherwise. It is not the data; it is a precise map of the data. Job logs are the same story, and they routinely contain sample rows because that is what people print when a transform is wrong.
A security configuration is attached at job creation. Adding one to an
existing job means replacing the job, so a catalogue of jobs built without one
stays without one until somebody rebuilds them. That is why this module creates
one by default rather than offering it, and why bookmarks_are_encrypted is an
output.
The catalog's own metadata is a separate, account-wide setting. Table names,
column names and S3 paths live in the Data Catalog, which has one encryption
setting per account per region - not per database. encrypt_data_catalog is
therefore opt-in, and turning it on changes every catalog in the account,
including ones other teams own. Its other half matters on its own: without it, a
Glue connection's database password is returned in plain text to anything that
can call GetConnection.
Defaults that differ from AWS's, each for a reason:
timeout_minutes60, not 2880. The AWS default is two days of a running job nobody is watching, billed per worker--job-bookmark-optionenabled. Without it the job re-processes everything it has already read on every run, and the only symptom is the bill--enable-continuous-cloudwatch-logon. Off, a job that fails halfway leaves nothing to read but a stack tracerecrawl_behavior = CRAWL_NEW_FOLDERS_ONLY. The default re-reads the whole prefix every rundelete_behavior = DEPRECATE_IN_DATABASE. A crawler that cannot see a path today - a permission slip, an empty prefix - would otherwise delete the table, and the query that depended on it fails with "table not found" rather than returning no rowsdatabase_nameis validated lower-case, because Glue lower-cases it silently and then your SQL does not match
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.

- Usage
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.
