Fides Terraform Modules

This repository contains reusable Terraform modules for Fides infrastructure.

Module Versioning

Each module is versioned independently using a version.json file in the module directory. When changes are pushed to the main branch, our CI pipeline automatically tags modules that have updated version numbers.

Version Format

Tags follow the format {module-name}/v{version}, for example: fides-aws-ecs/v1.0.0

Using Modules

To use a module in your Terraform configuration:

module "fides_aws_ecs" {
  source = "github.com/ethyca/fides-terraform//fides-aws-ecs?ref=fides-aws-ecs/v1.0.0"

  # Module inputs here
}

Note the double slash (//) in the source URL, which is required when referencing a subdirectory in a Git repository.

Available Modules

• fides-aws-ecs: Deploys Fides on AWS ECS

3. Run terraform init to install the correct version of Terraform providers

Updating a Module

1. Make your changes to the module
2. Update the version field in the module's version.json file according to semantic versioning
3. Create a PR and merge to the main branch
4. The GitHub Actions workflow will automatically create a tag for the new version

Module Structure
