Terraform AWS Transit Gateway VPN module

We are following the hub-spoke(s) (aka star network) network topology model.

This module joins our other two modules for handling the Transit Gateway "hub" and "satellite" nodes:

• terraform-aws-transit-gateway-hub
• terraform-aws-transit-gateway-satellite

Specifically, we are attaching the VPN connection to the TGW by manipulating the VPN configuration directly, as there isn't a resource for explicitly doing so, like in the case of the VPC attachments. Sadly, this is a limitation on the AWS side.

The VPN related resources handled by this module are provisioned and configured in the "hub" node.

Check out some use cases in the examples.

Caveats

Routing: When the VPN is attached to the TGW, there can be no static routes configured as the routing needs to be added through the TGW API.

Assumptions

Credentials

The module starts from the assumption that the aws_login_profile allows the user to assume the necessary IAM roles, as required, to make the necessary changes.

You can read more about how Terraform handles this here.

Obviously, all the supported authentication methods can also be used.
