Terraform module to provision Simple Email Service on AWS.
This project is part of our comprehensive "SweetOps" approach towards DevOps.
It's 100% Open Source and licensed under the APACHE2.
We literally have hundreds of terraform modules that are Open Source and well-maintained. Check them out!
Security scanning is graciously provided by Bridgecrew. Bridgecrew is the leading fully hosted, cloud-native solution providing continuous Terraform security and compliance.

IMPORTANT: We do not pin modules to versions in our examples because of the difficulty of keeping the versions in the documentation in sync with the latest released versions. We highly recommend that in your code you pin the version to the exact version you are using so that your infrastructure remains stable, and update versions in a systematic way so that they do not catch you by surprise.
Also, because of a bug in the Terraform registry (hashicorp/terraform#21417), the registry shows many of our inputs as required when in fact they are optional. The table below correctly indicates which inputs are required.
This module creates a SES domain with IAM user that is able to send emails with it. If module is provided with Route53 Zone ID it can also create verification DNS records for domain and DKIM.
For a complete example, see examples/complete.
For automated tests of the complete example using bats and Terratest (which tests and deploys the example on AWS), see test.
What's worth to note is that every AWS SES starts in Sandbox. Sending emails via it (emails not verified in AWS SES) is only allowed after support request.
SES availability in regions can be checked in latest AWS General Reference

map(string) |
{} |
no |
| attributes | ID element. Additional attributes (e.g. workers or cluster) to add to id,in the order they appear in the list. New attributes are appended to the end of the list. The elements of the list are joined by the delimiterand treated as a single ID element. |
list(string) |
[] |
no |
| context | Single object for setting entire context at once. See description of individual variables for details. Leave string and numeric variables as null to use default value.Individual variable settings (non-null) override settings in context object, except for attributes, tags, and additional_tag_map, which are merged. |

no |
| descriptor_formats | Describe additional descriptors to be output in the descriptors output map.Map of maps. Keys are names of descriptors. Values are maps of the form {<br> format = string<br> labels = list(string)<br>}(Type is any so the map values can later be enhanced to provide additional options.)format is a Terraform format string to be passed to the format() function.labels is a list of labels, in order, to pass to format() function.Label values will be normalized before being passed to format() so they will beidentical to how they appear in id.Default is {} (descriptors output will be empty). |
any |
{} |
no |
| domain | The domain to create the SES identity for. | string |
n/a | yes |
| enabled | Set to false to prevent the module from creating any resources | bool |

| label_key_case | Controls the letter case of the tags keys (label names) for tags generated by this module.Does not affect keys of tags passed in via the tags input.Possible values: lower, title, upper.Default value: title. |
string |
null |
no |
| label_order | The order in which the labels (ID elements) appear in the id.Defaults to ["namespace", "environment", "stage", "name", "attributes"]. You can omit any of the 6 labels ("tenant" is the 6th), but at least one must be present. |
list(string) |
null |
no |
| label_value_case | Controls the letter case of ID elements (labels) as included in id,set as tag values, and output by this module individually. Does not affect values of tags passed in via the tags input.Possible values: lower, title, upper and none (no transformation).Set this to title and set delimiter to "" to yield Pascal Case IDs.Default value: lower. |

null |
no |
| labels_as_tags | Set of labels (ID elements) to include as tags in the tags output.Default is to include all labels. Tags with empty values will not be included in the tags output.Set to [] to suppress all generated tags.Notes: The value of the name tag, if included, will be the id, not the name.Unlike other null-label inputs, the initial setting of labels_as_tags cannot bechanged in later chained modules. Attempts to change it will be silently ignored. |
