Documentation

aws-verified-access

Verified Access: reach an internal application without a VPN, with every request evaluated against identity and device posture. Instance, trust providers, Cedar-policy groups, endpoints and logging. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), AWS provider >= 6.0, < 7.0.

Defaults worth knowing:

  • Logging is pushed hard, and trust context is included by default. Verified Access replaces a VPN with a per-request decision, and the log is the only record that a decision happened. Without it you have swapped a system where connection events are obvious for one where they are invisible - a worse position than the VPN you left. include_trust_context records which identity and device posture produced the decision, so the log says why rather than only that
  • A group with no Cedar policy allows nothing. That is the safe empty state
  • policy_reference_name is what Cedar policies refer to a trust provider by, so changing it invalidates every policy that mentions it - called out in the variable description rather than discovered
  • The OIDC client secret is marked sensitive; pass it from a secret store at apply time rather than writing it into a tfvars file

Verification

Static validation runs tofu fmt, init, validate, tflint and checkov. This module has not yet had a live test, so it is published as statically validated with its live test pending and does not carry the live-tested mark.
