Terraform module to provision Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka

Note: this module is intended for use with an existing VPC. To create a new VPC, use terraform-aws-vpc module.

NOTE: Release 0.8.0 contains breaking changes that will result in the destruction of your existing MSK cluster. To preserve the original cluster, follow the instructions in the 0.7.x to 0.8.x+ migration path.


This project is part of our comprehensive "SweetOps" approach towards DevOps.

Terraform Open Source Modules

It's 100% Open Source and licensed under the APACHE2.

We literally have hundreds of terraform modules that are Open Source and well-maintained. Check them out!

Usage

IMPORTANT: We do not pin modules to versions in our examples because of the difficulty of keeping the versions in the documentation in sync with the latest released versions. We highly recommend that in your code you pin the version to the exact version you are using so that your infrastructure remains stable, and update versions in a systematic way so that they do not catch you by surprise.

Also, because of a bug in the Terraform registry (hashicorp/terraform#21417), the registry shows many of our inputs as required when in fact they are optional. The table below correctly indicates which inputs are required.

Here's how to invoke this example module in your projects

module "kafka" {
  source = "cloudposse/msk-apache-kafka-cluster/aws"
  # Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
  # version = "x.x.x"

  kafka_version        = "3.3.2"
  namespace            = "eg"
  stage                = "prod"
  name                 = "app"
  vpc_id               = "vpc-XXXXXXXX"
  subnet_ids           = ["subnet-XXXXXXXXX", "subnet-YYYYYYYY"]
  broker_per_zone      = 2
  broker_instance_type = "kafka.m5.large"

  # A list of IDs of Security Groups to associate the created resource with, in addition to the created security group
  associated_security_group_ids = ["sg-XXXXXXXXX", "sg-YYYYYYYY"]
  
  # A list of IDs of Security Groups to allow access to the cluster
  allowed_security_group_ids = ["sg-XXXXXXXXX", "sg-YYYYYYYY"]
}

Inputs

Name Description Type Default Required
additional_security_group_rules A list of Security Group rule objects to add to the created security group, in addition to the ones
this module normally creates. (To suppress the module's rules, set create_security_group to false
and supply your own security group(s) via associated_security_group_ids.)
The keys and values of the objects are fully compatible with the aws_security_group_rule resource, except
for security_group_id which will be ignored, and the optional "key" which, if provided, must be unique and known at "plan" time.
For more info see https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/security_group_rule
and https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-aws-security-group.
list(any) [] no
additional_tag_map Additional key-value pairs to add to each map in tags_as_list_of_maps. Not added to tags or id.
This is for some rare cases where resources want additional configuration of tags
and therefore take a list of maps with tag key, value, and additional configuration.
map(string) {} no
allow_all_egress If true, the created security group will allow egress on all ports and protocols to all IP addresses.
If this is false and no egress rules are otherwise specified, then no egress will be allowed.
bool true no
allowed_cidr_blocks A list of IPv4 CIDRs to allow access to the security group created by this module.
The length of this list must be known at "plan" time.
list(string) [] no
allowed_security_group_ids A list of IDs of Security Groups to allow access to the security group created by this module.
The length of this list must be known at "plan" time.
list(string) [] no
associated_security_group_ids A list of IDs of Security Groups to associate the created resource with, in addition to the created security group.
These security groups will not be modified and, if create_security_group is false, must have rules providing the desired access.
list(string) [] no
attributes ID element. Additional attributes (e.g. workers or cluster) to add to id,
in the order they appear in the list. New attributes are appended to the
end of the list. The elements of the list are joined by the delimiter
and treated as a single ID element.
list(string) [] no
autoscaling_enabled To automatically expand your cluster's storage in response to increased usage, you can enable this. More info bool true no
broker_dns_records_count This variable specifies how many DNS records to create for the broker endpoints in the DNS zone provided in the zone_id variable.
This corresponds to the total number of broker endpoints created by the module.
Calculate this number by multiplying the broker_per_zone variable by the subnet count.
This variable is necessary to prevent the Terraform error:
The "count" value depends on resource attributes that cannot be determined until apply, so Terraform cannot predict how many instances will be created.
number 0 no
broker_instance_type The instance type to use for the Kafka brokers string n/a yes
broker_per_zone Number of Kafka brokers per zone number 1 no
broker_volume_size The size in GiB of the EBS volume for the data drive on each broker node number 1000 no
certificate_authority_arns List of ACM Certificate Authority Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) to be used for TLS client authentication list(string) [] no
client_allow_unauthenticated Enable unauthenticated access bool false no
client_broker Encryption setting for data in transit between clients and brokers. Valid values: TLS, TLS_PLAINTEXT, and PLAINTEXT string "TLS" no
client_sasl_iam_enabled Enable client authentication via IAM policies. Cannot be set to true at the same time as client_tls_auth_enabled bool false no
client_sasl_scram_enabled Enable SCRAM client authentication via AWS Secrets Manager. Cannot be set to true at the same time as client_tls_auth_enabled bool false no
client_sasl_scram_secret_association_arns List of AWS Secrets Manager secret ARNs for SCRAM authentication list(string) [] no
client_sasl_scram_secret_association_enabled Enable the list of AWS Secrets Manager secret ARNs for SCRAM authentication bool true no
client_tls_auth_enabled Set true to enable the Client TLS Authentication bool false no
cloudwatch_logs_enabled Indicates whether you want to enable or disable streaming broker logs to Cloudwatch Logs bool false no
cloudwatch_logs_log_group Name of the Cloudwatch Log Group to deliver logs to string null no
context Single object for setting entire context at once.
See description of individual variables for details.
Leave string and numeric variables as null to use default value.
Individual variable settings (non-null) override settings in context object,
except for attributes, tags, and additional_tag_map, which are merged.

create_security_group Set true to create and configure a new security group. If false, associated_security_group_ids must be provided. bool true no
custom_broker_dns_name Custom Route53 DNS hostname for MSK brokers. Use %%ID%% key to specify brokers index in the hostname. Example: kafka-broker%%ID%%.example.com string null no
delimiter Delimiter to be used between ID elements.
Defaults to - (hyphen). Set to "" to use no delimiter at all.
string null no
descriptor_formats Describe additional descriptors to be output in the descriptors output map.
Map of maps. Keys are names of descriptors. Values are maps of the form
{<br> format = string<br> labels = list(string)<br>}
(Type is any so the map values can later be enhanced to provide additional options.)
format is a Terraform format string to be passed to the format() function.
labels is a list of labels, in order, to pass to format() function.
Label values will be normalized before being passed to format() so they will be
identical to how they appear in id.
Default is {} (descriptors output will be empty).
any {} no
enabled Set to false to prevent the module from creating any resources bool null no
encryption_at_rest_kms_key_arn You may specify a KMS key short ID or ARN (it will always output an ARN) to use for encrypting your data at rest string "" no

See this post for details on the difference between inline rules and rule resources.
bool false no
jmx_exporter_enabled Set true to enable the JMX Exporter bool false no
kafka_version The desired Kafka software version.
Refer to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/msk/latest/developerguide/supported-kafka-versions.html for more details
string n/a yes
label_key_case Controls the letter case of the tags keys (label names) for tags generated by this module.
Does not affect keys of tags passed in via the tags input.
Possible values: lower, title, upper.
Default value: title.
string null no
label_order The order in which the labels (ID elements) appear in the id.
Defaults to ["namespace", "environment", "stage", "name", "attributes"].
You can omit any of the 6 labels ("tenant" is the 6th), but at least one must be present.
list(string) null no
label_value_case Controls the letter case of ID elements (labels) as included in id,
set as tag values, and output by this module individually.
Does not affect values of tags passed in via the tags input.
Possible values: lower, title, upper and none (no transformation).
Set this to title and set delimiter to "" to yield Pascal Case IDs.
Default value: lower.
string null no
labels_as_tags Set of labels (ID elements) to include as tags in the tags output.
Default is to include all labels.
Tags with empty values will not be included in the tags output.
Set to [] to suppress all generated tags.
Notes:
The value of the name tag, if included, will be the id, not the name.
Unlike other null-label inputs, the initial setting of labels_as_tags cannot be
changed in later chained modules. Attempts to change it will be silently ignored.
set(string)
[
"default"
]
no
name ID element. Usually the component or solution name, e.g. 'app' or 'jenkins'.
This is the only ID element not also included as a tag.
The "name" tag is set to the full id string. There is no tag with the value of the name input.
string null no
namespace ID element. Usually an abbreviation of your organization name, e.g. 'eg' or 'cp', to help ensure generated IDs are globally unique string null no
node_exporter_enabled Set true to enable the Node Exporter bool false no
preserve_security_group_id When false and security_group_create_before_destroy is true, changes to security group rules
cause a new security group to be created with the new rules, and the existing security group is then
replaced with the new one, eliminating any service interruption.
When true or when changing the value (from false to true or from true to false),
existing security group rules will be deleted before new ones are created, resulting in a service interruption,
but preserving the security group itself.
NOTE: Setting this to true does not guarantee the security group will never be replaced,
it only keeps changes to the security group rules from triggering a replacement.
See the terraform-aws-security-group README for further discussion.
bool false no
properties Contents of the server.properties file. Supported properties are documented in the MSK Developer Guide map(string) {} no
public_access_enabled Enable public access to MSK cluster (given that all of the requirements are met) bool false no
regex_replace_chars Terraform regular expression (regex) string.
Characters matching the regex will be removed from the ID elements.
If not set, "/[^a-zA-Z0-9-]/" is used to remove all characters other than hyphens, letters and digits.
string null no
s3_logs_bucket Name of the S3 bucket to deliver logs to string "" no
s3_logs_enabled Indicates whether you want to enable or disable streaming broker logs to S3 bool false no
s3_logs_prefix Prefix to append to the S3 folder name logs are delivered to string "" no
security_group_create_before_destroy Set true to enable terraform create_before_destroy behavior on the created security group.
We only recommend setting this false if you are importing an existing security group
that you do not want replaced and therefore need full control over its name.
Note that changing this value will always cause the security group to be replaced.
bool true no
security_group_create_timeout How long to wait for the security group to be created. string "10m" no
security_group_delete_timeout How long to retry on DependencyViolation errors during security group deletion from
lingering ENIs left by certain AWS services such as Elastic Load Balancing.
string "15m" no
security_group_description The description to assign to the created Security Group.
Warning: Changing the description causes the security group to be replaced.
string "Managed by Terraform" no
security_group_name The name to assign to the created security group. Must be unique within the VPC.
If not provided, will be derived from the null-label.context passed in.
If create_before_destroy is true, will be used as a name prefix.
list(string) [] no
security_group_rule_description The description to place on each security group rule. The %s will be replaced with the protocol name string "Allow inbound %s traffic" no
stage ID element. Usually used to indicate role, e.g. 'prod', 'staging', 'source', 'build', 'test', 'deploy', 'release' string null no
storage_autoscaling_disable_scale_in If the value is true, scale in is disabled and the target tracking policy won't remove capacity from the scalable resource bool false no
