Stack

The stack module combines sub modules to create a complete stack with vpc, a default ecs cluster with auto scaling and a bastion node that enables you to access all instances.

Usage:

module "stack" {
  source      = "github.com/segmentio/stack"
  name        = "mystack"
  environment = "prod"

bastion

The bastion host acts as the "jump point" for the rest of the infrastructure. Since most of our instances aren't exposed to the external internet, the bastion acts as the gatekeeper for any direct SSH access. The bastion is provisioned using the key name that you pass to the stack (and hopefully have stored somewhere). If you ever need to access an instance directly, you can do it by "jumping through" the bastion.

$ terraform output # print the bastion ip
$ ssh -i <path/to/key> ubuntu@<bastion-ip> ssh ubuntu@<internal-ip>

Usage:

module "bastion" {
  source            = "github.com/segmentio/stack/bastion"
  region            = "us-west-2"
  security_groups   = "sg-1,sg-2"
  vpc_id            = "vpc-12"
  key_name          = "ssh-key"
  subnet_id         = "pub-1"
  environment       = "prod"
}

Inputs

subnet_id	A external subnet id	-	yes
environment	Environment tag, e.g prod	-	yes

Outputs

Name	Description
external_ip	Bastion external IP address.

defaults

This module is used to set configuration defaults for the AWS infrastructure. It doesn't provide much value when used on its own because terraform makes it hard to do dynamic generations of things like subnets, for now it's used as a helper module for the stack.

Usage:

 module "defaults" {
   source = "github.com/segmentio/stack/defaults"
   region = "us-east-1"
   cidr   = "10.0.0.0/16"
