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.
Tip
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.
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"]
}
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.
