Enhancements in CloudFront Module for Multi-Region Support:
In order to facilitate multi-region functionality through the AWS provider, significant improvements have been made to the CloudFront module. Notably, the module has been enhanced to seamlessly retrieve certificates from the us-east-1 region, even when the default Terraform provider is situated in a different region.
Introduction of Global Module for Resource Retrieval:
A comprehensive global module has been introduced to streamline the retrieval of resource ARN/ID data from Terraform state files. This implementation ensures efficient data retrieval across various layers of the architecture, promoting a more organized and effective workflow.
Adoption of Layered Architecture:
To enhance organizational clarity, a structured layered architecture has been implemented. This architecture encompasses distinct layers such as VPC and networks, EC2/instances, RDS, Web application and pipelines, and other AWS services. To maintain separation and coherence, each layer is managed through separate Terraform state files.
Implementation of Terraform Module Versioning System:
A robust versioning system has been established for Terraform modules to facilitate updates without downtime. This involves tagging modules with specific versions and selectively applying them to services in need of updates. This systematic approach ensures a smooth and controlled evolution of Terraform modules.
Creation of Dynamic Terraform Modules:
A modularity has been achieved through the development of dynamic Terraform modules. These modules are designed to be both dynamic and reusable across multiple projects. Each module has its own version, effectively reducing code size and complexity.
