terraform-aws-ci​

v0.27.3​

Published: 8/31/2020 | Modules affected: build-helpers/build-packer-artifact | Release notes

build-packer-artifact now supports a new --idempotent flag. When set as true (e.g. --idempotent true), the build-packer-artifact script will search your AWS account for an AMI that matches the template, and if it exists, will not attempt to build a new AMI. This is useful for preserving the integrity of AMI versions in CI/CD workflows.

See the updated docs for more information.

v0.21.1​

Published: 8/24/2020 | Modules affected: ecs-cluster | Release notes

Add prefix to the ECS capacity providers to support ECS cluster names that begin with ecs or aws. Note that upgrading to this release will recreate the capacity providers, but will not cause downtime to your services or ECS cluster.

v0.21.0​

Published: 8/17/2020 | Modules affected: ecs-cluster, ecs-service | Release notes

Update: when doing this upgrade, we accidentally missed updating the ecs-daemon-service module, so it's still pinned to AWS Provider 2.x. If you're using that module, please update to release v0.22.0 instead.

Starting this release, tests are run against v3.x series of the AWS provider. Note that this release is backwards compatible with v2.x of the AWS provider. However, there is no guarantee that backwards compatibility with v2.x of the AWS provider will be maintained going forward.

This release introduces a new module kms-grant-multi-region that allows you to manage KMS grants for KMS keys across multiple regions.

v0.36.0​

Published: 8/21/2020 | Modules affected: account-baseline-app, account-baseline-root, account-baseline-security, aws-config-bucket | Release notes

This release contains backwards incompatible changes. Make sure to follow the instructions in the migration guide below!

  • Refactored the account-baseline-xxx modules to work around several chicken-and-egg problems related to AWS Config / CloudTrail. The initial deployment, as well as adding subsequent child accounts, can now be done in a single apply per account, rather than the previous process, which required lots of back-and-forth and multiple apply calls. Here's an overview of the changes:

    • Add first-class support for marking one of the child accounts as a "logs account" that should be used for aggregating AWS Config and CloudTrail data from all accounts. The account-baseline-root module can now automatically create the logs account, authenticate to it, create an S3 bucket for AWS Config and an S3 bucket and KMS CMK for CloudTrail in that account, and then configure the root account to send all AWS Config and CloudTrail data to those S3 buckets. In the past, you had to disable AWS Config and CloudTrail on the very initial deployment, as the logs account did not exist, but with this release, you can leave it enabled, run apply once, and everything will "just work."

    • Switch from org-level AWS Config Rules to account-level AWS Config Rules. The Rules are exactly the same, but are now managed within each account, rather than solely at the root account. This is slightly less convenient / secure, but it works around a major chicken-and-egg problem when creating new child accounts. Org-level rules require every single child account to have a Config Recorder or deployment fails, so in the past, you had to initially disable Config Rules whenever you added a new child account, then create a Config Recorder in that account, and then re-enable the Rules. This process has now been reduced to a single apply per account.

  • Updated the cloudtrail module to:

    • Use the kms-master-key module to create and manage the KMS CMK rather than custom code. This makes the code more DRY and maintainable.
    • Properly support sharing a KMS CMK across multiple accounts. In the past, the cloudtrail module didn't have this ability and the account-baseline-xxx modules were backfilling the missing permissions, but now it's all consolidated into the cloudtrail module.

  • Extracted the S3 bucket creation logic from the aws-config module into an aws-config-bucket module so it can be reused elsewhere (namely, in account-baseline-root).

  • Extracted the S3 bucket and KMS CMK creation logic from the cloudtrail module into an cloudtrail-bucket module so it can be reused elsewhere (namely, in account-baseline-root).

  • The aws-config and aws-config-multi-region modules now expose a new, required aggregate_config_data_in_external_account parameter that must be set to true if you're aggregating AWS Config data in an external account (i.e., if setting the central_account_id param). This redundant parameter is unfortunately necessary to work around a Terraform limitation.

  • Fixed a bug in the aws-config module where it was not setting s3_key_prefix on aws_config_delivery_channel.

  • Renamed the aws-organization-config-rules module to aws-config-rules, as it now supports creating other org-level rules (the default) or account-level rules (if you set create_account_rules to true).

  • Updated the kms-master-key module with support for passing in a list of ARNs via cmk_read_only_user_iam_arns that will get read-only access. That is, they will only be able to decrypt data using the KMS CMK, but not the ability to encrypt data or manage the CMK in any other way.

  • Refactored the aws-organizations output variables to so that (a) they always show the data after child accounts have been created, rather than before and (b) they depend on the child account resources so you can build dependency chains that wait for the child accounts to be created.

v0.35.0​

Published: 8/17/2020 | Modules affected: aws-config-multi-region, guardduty-multi-region, kms-master-key-multi-region | Release notes

Starting this release, tests are run against v3.x series of the AWS provider. Note that this release is backwards compatible with v2.x of the AWS provider. However, there is no guarantee that backwards compatibility with v2.x of the AWS provider will be maintained going forward.

v0.34.5​

Published: 8/17/2020 | Modules affected: aws-config, aws-organizations, cloudtrail, custom-iam-entity | Release notes

  • There appears to be a Terraform bug where, when you run destroy, you can get errors about (valid) references to resources that use count or for_each (e.g., foo.bar[0]). This release has a workaround for this issue, so hopefully, destroy works correctly now.

v0.34.4​

Published: 8/13/2020 | Modules affected: iam-policies | Release notes

This release adds read only permissions to the read_only IAM policy for the Performance Insights service.

v0.34.3​

Published: 8/12/2020 | Modules affected: cloudtrail | Release notes

Allows an empty list of users and admins in cloudtrail-created KMS keys. Previously, the kms_key_user_iam_arns and kms_key_administrator_iam_arns variables were required. They are now optional and default to an empty list. If they are left as empty, then allow_cloudtrail_access_with_iam must be true.

terraform-aws-server​

v0.8.5​

Published: 8/1/2020 | Modules affected: ec2-backup, single-server | Release notes

This release includes a fix for the ec2-backup module, making its tag configurations more flexible. It also fixes a few links in the module-server documentation.

terraform-aws-vpc​

v0.9.3​

Published: 8/25/2020 | Modules affected: vpc-peering-external, vpc-flow-logs | Release notes

This release introduces two changes:

  1. In the vpc-peering-external module, it's now possible to disable the network ACL DENY rules by setting enable_blanket_deny=false. This can be useful when you need to add your own ACLs and you're bumping up against the 20 rule limit.
  2. As outlined in the Terraform AWS provider v3 upgrade guide, CloudWatch Logs group ARNs no longer include the :* at the end, which caused a problem in the vpc-flow-logs module. This is now resolved.
