terraform-aws-elasticsearch

Terraform module to create Amazon Elasticsearch Service clusters, following the Well-Architected Framework and best AWS practices.

Amazon Elasticsearch Service is a fully managed service that makes it easy to deploy, operate, and scale Elasticsearch clusters in the AWS Cloud. Elasticsearch is a popular open-source search and analytics engine for use cases such as log analytics, real-time application monitoring, and clickstream analysis. With Amazon ES, you get direct access to the Elasticsearch APIs; existing code and applications work seamlessly with the service.

Examples

Check the examples folder where you can see how to configure a public ES cluster, and another example showing how to set it with VPC options.

Usage

You can use this module to create your Amazon ES cluster by defining each parameters blocks as follows:

module "aws_es" {

  source  = "lgallard/elasticsearch/aws"

  domain_name           = "elasticsearch_public"
  elasticsearch_version = "7.1"

  cluster_config = {
    dedicated_master_enabled = true
    instance_count           = 3
    instance_type            = "r5.large.elasticsearch"
    zone_awareness_enabled   = true
    availability_zone_count  = 3
  }

  ebs_options = {
    ebs_enabled = "true"
    volume_size = "25"
  }

  encrypt_at_rest = {
    enabled    = true
    kms_key_id = "arn:aws:kms:us-east-1:123456789101:key/cccc103b-4ba3-5993-6fc7-b7e538b25fd8"
  }

  log_publishing_options = {
    index_slow_logs = {
      enabled                          = true
      cloudwatch_log_group_arn         = "arn:aws:logs:us-east-1:123456789101:log-group:/aws/elasticsearch/index_slow_logs:*"
      log_publishing_options_retention = 90
    }
    search_slow_logs = {
      enabled                  = true
      cloudwatch_log_group_arn = "arn:aws:logs:us-east-1:123456789101:log-group:/aws/elasticsearch/search_slow_logs:*"
    }
    es_application_logs = {
      enabled                   = true
      cloudwatch_log_group_name = "es_application_logs_dev"
    }
    audit_logs = {
      enabled                   = false
      cloudwatch_log_group_name = "audit_logs_dev"
    }
  }

  advanced_options = {
    "rest.action.multi.allow_explicit_index" = true
  }

  domain_endpoint_options = {
    enforce_https                   = true
    custom_endpoint_enabled         = true
    custom_endpoint                 = "lgallardo.com"
    custom_endpoint_certificate_arn = "arn:aws:acm:us-east-1:123456789101:certificate/abcd1234-ef11-abcd-1234-abcd1234efef"
  }

  node_to_node_encryption_enabled                = true
  snapshot_options_automated_snapshot_start_hour = 23

  tags = {
    Owner = "sysops"
    env   = "dev"
  }

Note: You can also define the above ElasticSearch cluster using just the module variables. Instead of defining a cluster_config block (list of map), you can set each of the cluster_config_* variables, as shown below:

module "aws_es" {

  source  = "lgallard/elasticsearch/aws"

  domain_name           = "elasticsearch_public"
  elasticsearch_version = "7.1"

  cluster_config_dedicated_master_enabled = true
  cluster_config_instance_count           = 3
  cluster_config_instance_type            = "r5.large.elasticsearch"
  cluster_config_zone_awareness_enabled   = "true"
  cluster_config_availability_zone_count  = 3

  ebs_options_ebs_enabled = true
  ebs_options_volume_size = 25

  encrypt_at_rest_enabled    = true
  encrypt_at_rest_kms_key_id = "alias/aws/es"

  log_publishing_options_enabled  = true
  log_publishing_options_log_type = "INDEX_SLOW_LOGS"

  advanced_options = {
    "rest.action.multi.allow_explicit_index" = true
  }

  node_to_node_encryption_enabled                = true
  snapshot_options_automated_snapshot_start_hour = 23

  tags = {
    Owner = "sysops"
    env   = "dev"
  }
