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
