AWS VPN Gateway Terraform module

Terraform module which creates VPN gateway resources on AWS.

Features

This module creates:

  • a VPN Connection unless create_vpn_connection = false
  • a VPN Gateway Attachment
  • one or more VPN Gateway Route Propagation depending on how many routing tables exists in a VPC
  • one or more VPN Connection Route if create_vpn_connection = true and vpn_connection_static_routes_only = true, and depending on the number of destinations provided in variable vpn_connection_static_routes_destinations (which must be inline with vpc_subnet_route_table_count)

This module does not create a VPN Gateway resource because it is meant to be used in combination with the VPC module that will create that resource (when enable_vpn_gateway = true). This module also does not create a Customer Gateway resource. This module will create static routes for the VPN Connection if configured to create a VPN Connection resource with static routes and destinations for the routes have been provided. The static routes will then be automatically propagated to the VPC subnet routing tables (provided in private_route_table_ids) once a VPN tunnel status is UP. When static routes are disabled, the appliance behind the Customer Gateway needs to support BGP routing protocol in order for routes to be automatically discovered, and subsequently propagated to the VPC subnet routing tables. This module supports optional parameters for tunnel inside cidr and preshared keys. They can be supplied individually, too.

If you want to use the Transit Gateway support you are responsible for creating the transit gateway resources (eg, using terraform-aws-transit-gateway module).
