Transit Gateway Attachment Terraform Module

This module creates a transit gateway attachment resource. A transit gateway attachment, attaches the transit gateway to a VPC. This module can be used to attach a transit gateway to multiple VPCs. Attaching a transit gateway to one or more VPCs creates a HUB and spoke routing topology, allowing traffic from one VPC to reach other VPCs or from a VPC to reach on-premises networks.

The module accepts a map of VPCs for attachment to the transit gateway. See the examples below for the structure of the map.

See VPC Core Concepts for more information on the core networking components and topologies.

What is a Transit Gateway Attachment?

A transit gateway attachment is a way to connect a transit gateway (virtual router) to a VPC. You can think of a VPC attachment just like a cat5e or cat6 network cable. By attaching the transit gateway, you're connecting the cable between the virtual router and a VPC. By attaching the transit gateway and then either configuring a route or enabling route propagation, you can route traffic between VPCs.

Inputs

Name	Description	Type	Default	Required
custom_tags	A map of tags to apply to all resources when applicable. The key is the tag name and the value is the tag value. Note that the tag 'Name' is automatically added by this module but may be optionally overwritten by this variable.	`map(string)`	`{}`	no
enable_appliance_mode_support	Whether Appliance Mode support is enabled. If enabled, a traffic flow between a source and destination uses the same Availability Zone for the VPC attachment for the lifetime of that flow. The default is false.	`bool`	`false`	no
enable_dns_support	Whether DNS resolution is enabled for this VPC attachment. The default is false.	`bool`	`false`	no
enable_ipv6_support	Whether IPv6 support is enabled. If enabled, a private IPv6 address from the Amazon pool of IPv6 addresses is assigned to the Elastic Network Interface (ENI) for a VPC attachment. The default is false.	`bool`	`false`	no
enable_transit_gateway_default_route_table_association	Whether the VPC attachment should be associated with the Transit Gateway association default route table. The default is true.	`bool`	`true`	no
enable_transit_gateway_default_route_table_propagation	Whether the VPC attachment should propagate routes with the Transit Gateway propagation default route table. The default is true.	`bool`	`true`	no
transit_gateway_id	EC2 Transit Gateway identifier	`string`	n/a	yes
vpcs	A map of vpcs with their name and the subnet ids that the transit gateway will attach to. The subnet IDs configured here are the attachment point for the transit gateway. I.E. The transit gateway will have an IP on these subnets.	`map(object({<br> vpc_id = string<br> vpc_name = string<br> subnet_ids = list(string)<br> }))`	n/a	yes

Outputs

Name	Description
id	EC2 Transit Gateway Attachment identifier.
