GitHub - cloudposse/terraform-aws-elasticache-memcached: Terraform Module for ElastiCache Memcached Cluster

Terraform module to provision an ElastiCache Memcached Cluster

Tip

👽 Use Atmos with Terraform

Cloud Posse uses atmos to easily orchestrate multiple environments using Terraform.
Works with Github Actions, Atlantis, or Spacelift.

Watch demo of using Atmos with Terraform

Example of running atmos to manage infrastructure from our Quick Start tutorial.

Usage

For a complete example, see examples/complete.

For automated tests of the complete example using bats and Terratest (which tests and deploys the example on AWS), see test.

  provider "aws" {
    region = var.region
  }

  module "this" {
    source  = "cloudposse/label/null"
    # Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
    # version = "x.x.x"
    namespace  = var.namespace
    stage      = var.stage
    name       = var.name
  }

  module "vpc" {
    source = "cloudposse/vpc/aws"
    # Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
    # version = "x.x.x"

    cidr_block = "172.16.0.0/16"

    context = module.this.context
  }

  module "subnets" {
    source = "cloudposse/dynamic-subnets/aws"
    # Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
    # version = "x.x.x"

    availability_zones   = var.availability_zones
    vpc_id               = module.vpc.vpc_id
    igw_id               = module.vpc.igw_id
    cidr_block           = module.vpc.vpc_cidr_block
    nat_gateway_enabled  = true
    nat_instance_enabled = false

    context = module.this.context
  }

  module "memcached" {
    source = "cloudposse/elasticache-memcached/aws"
    # Cloud Posse recommends pinning every module to a specific version
    # version = "x.x.x"

    availability_zones      = var.availability_zones
    vpc_id                  = module.vpc.vpc_id
    allowed_security_groups = [module.vpc.vpc_default_security_group_id]
    subnets                 = module.subnets.private_subnet_ids
    cluster_size            = var.cluster_size
    instance_type           = var.instance_type
    engine_version          = var.engine_version
    apply_immediately       = true
    zone_id                 = var.zone_id

    elasticache_parameter_group_family = var.elasticache_parameter_group_family

    context = module.this.context
  }

Important

In Cloud Posse's examples, we avoid pinning modules to specific versions to prevent discrepancies between the documentation and the latest released versions. However, for your own projects, we strongly advise pinning each module to the exact version you're using. This practice ensures the stability of your infrastructure. Additionally, we recommend implementing a systematic approach for updating versions to avoid unexpected changes.

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

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.
