Terraform module which creates EC2 security group within VPC on AWS.
This module aims to implement ALL combinations of arguments supported by AWS and latest stable version of Terraform:
- IPv4/IPv6 CIDR blocks
- VPC endpoint prefix lists (use data source aws_prefix_list)
- Access from source security groups
- Access from self
- Named rules (see the rules here)
- Named groups of rules with ingress (inbound) and egress (outbound) ports open for common scenarios (eg, ssh, http-80, mysql, see the whole list here)
- Conditionally create security group and/or all required security group rules.
Ingress and egress rules can be configured in a variety of ways. See inputs section for all supported arguments and complete example for the complete use-case.
If there is a missing feature or a bug - open an issue.
For Terraform 1.3 or later use any version from v5.0.0 of this module or newer.
For Terraform 0.13 or later use any version from v4.5.0 of this module or newer.
For Terraform 0.12 use any version from v3.* to v4.4.0.
If you are using Terraform 0.11 you can use versions v2.*.
There are two ways to create security groups using this module:
module "web_server_sg" {
source = "terraform-aws-modules/security-group/aws//modules/http-80"
name = "web-server"
description = "Security group for web-server with HTTP ports open within VPC"
vpc_id = "vpc-12345678"
ingress_cidr_blocks = ["10.10.0.0/16"]
}module "vote_service_sg" {
source = "terraform-aws-modules/security-group/aws"
name = "user-service"
description = "Security group for user-service with custom ports open within VPC, and PostgreSQL publicly open"
vpc_id = "vpc-12345678"
ingress_cidr_blocks = ["10.10.0.0/16"]
ingress_rules = ["https-443-tcp"]
ingress_with_cidr_blocks = [
{
from_port = 8080
to_port = 8090
protocol = "tcp"
description = "User-service ports"
cidr_blocks = "10.10.0.0/16"
},
{
rule = "postgresql-tcp"
cidr_blocks = "0.0.0.0/0"
},
]
}Terraform 0.11 has a limitation which does not allow computed values inside count attribute on resources (issues: #16712, #18015, ...)
Computed values are values provided as outputs from module. Non-computed values are all others - static values, values referenced as variable and from data-sources.
When you need to specify computed value inside security group rule argument you need to specify it using an argument which starts with computed_ and provide a number of elements in the argument which starts with number_of_computed_. See these examples:
module "http_sg" {
source = "terraform-aws-modules/security-group/aws"
# omitted for brevity
}
module "db_computed_source_sg" {
# omitted for brevity
vpc_id = "vpc-12345678" # these are valid values also - `module.vpc.vpc_id` and `local.vpc_id`
computed_ingress_with_source_security_group_id = [
{
rule = "mysql-tcp"
source_security_group_id = module.http_sg.security_group_id
}
]
number_of_computed_ingress_with_source_security_group_id = 1
}
module "db_computed_sg" {
# omitted for brevity
ingress_cidr_blocks = ["10.10.0.0/16", data.aws_security_group.default.id]
computed_ingress_cidr_blocks = [module.vpc.vpc_cidr_block]
number_of_computed_ingress_cidr_blocks = 1
}
module "db_computed_merged_sg" {
# omitted for brevity
computed_ingress_cidr_blocks = ["10.10.0.0/16", module.vpc.vpc_cidr_block]
number_of_computed_ingress_cidr_blocks = 2
}Note that db_computed_sg and db_computed_merged_sg are equal, because it is possible to put both computed and non-computed values in arguments starting with computed_.
Sometimes you need a way to conditionally create a security group. If you're using Terraform < 0.13 which lacks module support for count, you can instead specify the argument create.
# This security group will not be created
module "vote_service_sg" {
source = "terraform-aws-modules/security-group/aws"
create = false
# ... omitted
}- Complete Security Group example shows all available parameters to configure security group.
- Security Group "Rules Only" example shows how to manage just rules of a security group that is created outside.
- HTTP Security Group example shows more applicable security groups for common web-servers.
- Disable creation of Security Group example shows how to disable creation of security group.
- Dynamic values inside Security Group rules example shows how to specify values inside security group rules (data-sources and variables are allowed).
- Computed values inside Security Group rules example shows how to specify computed values inside security group rules (solution for
value of 'count' cannot be computedproblem).
Rules and groups are defined in rules.tf. Run update_groups.sh when content of that file has changed to recreate content of all automatic modules.
