Documentation

aws-jenkins — Jenkins Controller on AWS

A single-node Jenkins controller on EC2 with secure defaults baked in. The instance runs Amazon Linux 2023 and installs Jenkins (stable) + Amazon Corretto 17 via cloud-init. IMDSv2 is enforced (http_tokens = required), the root EBS volume is always encrypted (gp3 by default), and the module ships an SSM-agent-ready, least-privilege instance profile (just AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore) so you get Session Manager shell access with no SSH keys and no inbound SSH at all. The security group exposes the Jenkins UI and SSH only to the CIDR blocks you list in allowed_cidrs — there is no open-to-the-world default.

Self-contained for quick trials: leave subnet_id unset and the module discovers a subnet in the account's default VPC and derives the matching VPC for the security group.

Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), AWS provider >= 6.0, < 7.0.

What it provisions

  • aws_instance — the Jenkins controller (IMDSv2-only, encrypted gp3 root, EBS-optimized).
  • aws_security_group + standalone ingress/egress rules — UI (jenkins_port) and SSH (22) from allowed_cidrs; all egress for package/plugin installs.
  • aws_iam_role + aws_iam_instance_profile — SSM-ready, least privilege.

Requirements

  • Terraform or OpenTofu >= 1.6
  • hashicorp/aws >= 6.0, < 7.0

aws-codebuild

privileged_mode hands the build the Docker socket, so anything it runs can read every environment variable and assume the service role. Off by default, and a PLAINTEXT variable whose name looks like a secret is refused.

aws-fis

FIS refuses a template with no stop condition, which reads like a guarantee - and source = 'none' is a legal stop condition meaning the experiment never halts by itself. Refused here, along with targets that grow at run time and an empty-target mode that reports success for having tested nothing.

aws-codeartifact

A repository with a public external connection serves whatever the public registry holds for any name it does not. This puts the connection on its own repository, reached through an upstream, and emits the origin-control commands Terraform cannot apply.

aws-appconfig

AppConfig exists to deploy a configuration slowly and roll it back automatically, and both halves are opt-in - the predefined AllAtOnce strategy is 100% of the fleet with zero bake time. Gradual here, and a precondition refuses an environment with no alarms, where automatic rollback has nothing to fire on.

ansible-aws-cli-v2

The AWS CLI v2 from the upstream zip, verified with gpg against the AWS CLI Team key (pinned by fingerprint, in a GnuPG home of its own) before it is unpacked. EL 10 has no package; most installs run curl | unzip and never read the signature. Pinned version, tab completion, and a live test that runs an API call to 'Unable to locate credentials'. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.

aws-mwaa

webserver_access_mode defaults to PUBLIC_ONLY, and the Airflow UI is not a dashboard: anyone who reaches it can trigger a DAG, which is arbitrary Python running as the execution role. PRIVATE_ONLY here, all five log streams on, and a precondition refuses an unpinned requirements.txt or plugins.zip - where bucket write access is otherwise the same permission as code execution.
