SES v2 Sending Stack
An SES v2 sending stack - a configuration set with an optional domain/email identity (Easy DKIM) - with TLS required, bounce/complaint suppression, and reputation metrics to CloudWatch.
Verification
Live-testedReally deployed to a cloud sandbox, verified against its outputs and assertions, then destroyed - with the teardown confirmed.
Conformance
- Static validation (fmt · validate · tflint)
- Security scan clean (Checkov)
- Plan test superseded by live test

Documentation
aws-ses
Amazon SES (Simple Email Service) v2 sending stack: a configuration set with
secure-by-default delivery wired to an optional sending identity (domain or
email address). Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), AWS provider
>= 6.0, < 7.0. Built on the modern aws_sesv2_* resources (not the legacy
aws_ses_* set).
What you get:
- An
aws_sesv2_configuration_set— the unit that groups sending rules (TLS policy, reputation tracking, suppression) and is attached to the identity so every send through it inherits them. - An optional
aws_sesv2_email_identity. A domain identity gets provider managed Easy DKIM (the CNAME tokens to publish are returned asdkim_tokens); an email-address identity triggers AWS's verification email. Either way the identity is createdstatic-validatedand stays pending verification until you publish DNS / click the link — that is expected and costs nothing. - Optional custom MAIL FROM domain and an optional CloudWatch event destination (the cheapest event sink — metrics only, no extra infrastructure).
Secure defaults:
- TLS required to the receiving mail server (
tls_policy = "REQUIRE") — no cleartext fallback. - Suppression list enabled for both
BOUNCEandCOMPLAINTat the configuration-set level, protecting the account's sending reputation. - Reputation metrics published to CloudWatch so you can alarm before AWS pauses sending.
- DKIM key length defaults to
RSA_2048_BITfor domain identities.
No VPC, no servers, no charge to create — SES bills per email actually sent.
Requirements
- Terraform or OpenTofu

aws-mq
deployment_mode defaults to SINGLE_INSTANCE, and Amazon MQ reboots the instance to patch it - so a single broker has planned downtime on AWS's schedule. Active/standby across two AZs, both log streams on, and passwords in a separate variable from users, because a sensitive value cannot be a for_each argument at all.
aws-kinesis-firehose
Without error_output_prefix, records Firehose could not process are written into the same prefix as the ones it could, wrapped in an error envelope that whatever reads the prefix treats as data. Nothing reports it.
