Verification

Live-tested

Really 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 tests (mocked: validation rules · outputs)

Provenance

Functional

  • Live-tested - applied, verified, destroyed

Documentation

aws-sqs

SQS standard/FIFO queue with dead-letter queue, redrive policy, SSE, and least-privilege queue policy. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), AWS provider >= 6.0, < 7.0. The two classic SQS gotchas are encoded for you: FIFO naming (.fifo suffix on the queue and its DLQ) is automatic, and the DLQ wiring uses the standalone redrive resources plus a redrive_allow_policy that locks the DLQ to exactly this source queue.

Secure defaults:

  • Encryption at rest always on: SSE-KMS with your key when kms_key_id is set, SQS-managed SSE otherwise
  • Queue policy denies any non-TLS access (aws:SecureTransport = false) on both the queue and the DLQ; producers/consumers/service publishers are allow-listed explicitly (service principals pinned to their aws:SourceArn)
  • DLQ created by default with maxReceiveCount = 5 and 14-day retention
  • Long polling (10s) by default — fewer empty receives, lower cost

Requirements

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