Terraform AWS Iam User

Terraform module to create Iam user resource on AWS.

---

We eat, drink, sleep and most importantly love DevOps. We are working towards strategies for standardizing architecture while ensuring security for the infrastructure. We are strong believer of the philosophy Bigger problems are always solved by breaking them into smaller manageable problems. Resonating with microservices architecture, it is considered best-practice to run database, cluster, storage in smaller connected yet manageable pieces within the infrastructure.

This module is basically combination of Terraform open source and includes automatation tests and examples. It also helps to create and improve your infrastructure with minimalistic code instead of maintaining the whole infrastructure code yourself.

We have fifty plus terraform modules. A few of them are comepleted and are available for open source usage while a few others are in progress.

Prerequisites

This module has a few dependencies:

• Terraform 0.13
• Go
• github.com/stretchr/testify/assert
• github.com/gruntwork-io/terratest/modules/terraform

Examples

IMPORTANT: Since the master branch used in source varies based on new modifications, we suggest that you use the release versions here.

Simple example

Here is an example of how you can use this module in your inventory structure:

  module "iam-user" {
    source             = "clouddrove/iam-user/aws"
    version            = "0.15.0"
    name               = "iam-user"
    environment        = "test"
    label_order        = ["name","environment"]
    policy_enabled     = true
    policy             = data.aws_iam_policy_document.default.json
  }

  data "aws_iam_policy_document" "default" {
    statement {
      actions = [
        "ec2:Describe*"
      ]
      effect    = "Allow"
      resources = ["*"]
    }
  }

Inputs

Name	Description	Type	Default	Required
attributes	Additional attributes (e.g. 1).	list(any)	[]	no
delimiter	Delimiter to be used between organization, environment, name and attributes.	string	"-"	no
enabled	Whether to create Iam user.	bool	true	no
environment	Environment (e.g. prod, dev, staging).	string	""	no
force_destroy	When destroying this user, destroy even if it has non-Terraform-managed IAM access keys, login profile or MFA devices. Without force_destroy a user with non-Terraform-managed access keys and login profile will fail to be destroyed.	bool	false	no
label_order	Label order, e.g. name,application.	list(any)	[]	no
managedby	ManagedBy, eg 'CloudDrove'	string	"[email protected]"	no
name	Name (e.g. app or cluster).	string	""	no
path	The path to the role.	string	"/"	no
permissions_boundary	The ARN of the policy that is used to set the permissions boundary for the role.	string	""	no
pgp_key	Either a base-64 encoded PGP public key, or a keybase username in the form keybase:some_person_that_exists.	string	""	no
policy	The policy document.	any	null	no
policy_arn	The ARN of the policy you want to apply.	string	""	no
policy_enabled	Whether to Attach Iam policy with user.	bool	false	no
repository	Terraform current module repo	string	"https://github.com/clouddrove/terraform-aws-iam-user"	no
status	The access key status to apply. Defaults to Active. Valid values are Active and Inactive.	string	"Active"	no
tags	Additional tags (e.g. map(BusinessUnit,XYZ).	map(any)	{}	no

Outputs

Name	Description
arn	The ARN assigned by AWS for this user.
key_id	The access key ID.
secret	The secret access key. Note that this will be written to the state file. Please supply a pgp_key instead, which will prevent the secret from being stored in plain text.
tags	A mapping of tags to assign to the resource.
unique_id	The unique ID assigned by AWS for this user.

Testing

In this module testing is performed with terratest and it creates a small piece of infrastructure, matches the output like ARN, ID and Tags name etc and destroy infrastructure in your AWS account. This testing is written in GO, so you need a GO environment in your system.

You need to run the following command in the testing folder:

  go test -run Test
