Terraform module to provision an HTTP style ALB ingress based on hostname and/or path.
ALB ingress can be provisioned without authentication, or using Cognito or OIDC authentication.
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!
IMPORTANT: The master branch is used in source just as an example. In your code, do not pin to master because there may be breaking changes between releases.
Instead pin to the release tag (e.g. ?ref=tags/x.y.z) of one of our latest releases.
For a complete example, see examples/complete.
For automated test of the complete example using bats and Terratest, see test.
