Documentation

aws-rds

Single-instance or Multi-AZ RDS (PostgreSQL/MySQL/MariaDB) with subnet, parameter, and option groups, backups, and monitoring wired correctly. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), AWS provider >= 6.0, < 7.0.

Secure defaults:

  • Storage always encrypted (AWS-managed aws/rds key, or your CMK via kms_key_arn)
  • Master password generated by RDS and stored in Secrets Manager — never in state
  • publicly_accessible = false, 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 parameter group — never the shared AWS default
  • TLS enforced by default: require_ssl = true injects the engine-appropriate parameter into the parameter group (rds.force_ssl for postgres, require_secure_transport for mysql/mariadb)
  • Enhanced monitoring: set monitoring_interval > 0 and the module creates the IAM role

Upgrade note (v1.x security default change): the module now enforces TLS for client connections by default. If you have legacy non-TLS clients (or run MariaDB < 10.5, which lacks require_secure_transport), set require_ssl = false, or override the parameter explicitly via parameters.

Requirements

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

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.
