Affected Resource(s)

"aws_vpn_connection"

Terraform Configuration Files

We create resource by using module

module "vpn_gateway_main" {
  source = "../terraform-aws-vpn-gateway.git"
  create_vpn_connection = "${ var.create_vpn  ? 1 : 0}"   

  vpn_gateway_id      = "${module.vpc.vgw_id}"
  customer_gateway_id = "${local.vpn_main_cgw_id}"

  tunnel1_inside_cidr   = "${local.vpn1_tunnel1_cidr}"
  tunnel2_inside_cidr   = "${local.vpn1_tunnel2_cidr}"
  vpc_id                       = "${module.vpc.vpc_id}"
  create_vpn_gateway_attachment = false 
}

from module resource is created
https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-vpn-gateway/blob/master/main.tf

resource "aws_vpn_connection" "tunnel" {
  count = "${var.create_vpn_connection && length(var.tunnel1_inside_cidr) > 0 && length(var.tunnel2_inside_cidr) > 0 && length(var.tunnel1_preshared_key) == 0 && length(var.tunnel2_preshared_key) == 0 ? 1 : 0}"

  vpn_gateway_id      = "${var.vpn_gateway_id}"
  customer_gateway_id = "${var.customer_gateway_id}"
  type                = "ipsec.1"

  static_routes_only = "${var.vpn_connection_static_routes_only}"

  tunnel1_inside_cidr = "${var.tunnel1_inside_cidr}"
  tunnel2_inside_cidr = "${var.tunnel2_inside_cidr}"

  tags = "${merge(
    map(
      "Name", "VPN Connection between VPC ${var.vpc_id} and Customer Gateway ${var.customer_gateway_id}"
    ),
    var.tags
  )}"

type                                          = ipsec.1

Expected Behavior

We created two VPN connections called in output "main" and "secondary" to separate Customer gateways. Both IPSEC Connection have inside two tunnels.
To prevent conflicts we manually assign CIDR inside each tunnel.

First ipsec connection has
Connection "main":
tunnel1_cidr: 169.254.10.0/30
tunnel2_cidr: 169.254.10.4/30

Connection "secondary":
tunnel1_cidr: 169.254.8.0/30
tunnel2_cidr: 169.254.12.4/30

Actual Behavior

From time to time I can see that IP addresses are swapped between tunnel interfaces within a single connection.
It doesn't occur each time but quite often

As we can see in terraform state show command we have the problem in first connection.
We assigned CIDR 169.254.10.0/30 and is visible while we are creating resource but we at the end obtain addresses for second interfaces

tunnel1_cgw_inside_address = 169.254.10.6
tunnel1_inside_cidr = 169.254.10.0/30
tunnel1_vgw_inside_address = 169.254.10.5

tunnel2_cgw_inside_address = 169.254.10.2
tunnel2_inside_cidr = 169.254.10.4/30
tunnel2_vgw_inside_address = 169.254.10.1

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform apply

Can this be looked at by anybody?

[selslack]

The root cause, from my understanding, is that cgw_inside_address and vgw_inside_address are being sourced from customer_gateway_configuration XML while inside_cidr is sourced from the input.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
