terraform-aws-cognito-user-pool

Terraform module to create Amazon Cognito User Pools, configure its attributes and resources such as app clients, domain, resource servers. Amazon Cognito User Pools provide a secure user directory that scales to hundreds of millions of users. As a fully managed service, User Pools are easy to set up without any worries about standing up server infrastructure.

Usage

You can use this module to create a Cognito User Pool using the default values or use the detailed definition to set every aspect of the Cognito User Pool

Check the examples where you can see the simple example using the default values, the simple_extended version which adds  app clients, domain, resource servers resources, or the complete version with a detailed example.

Example (simple)

This simple example creates a AWS Cognito User Pool with the default values:

module "aws_cognito_user_pool_simple" {

  source  = "lgallard/cognito-user-pool/aws"

  user_pool_name = "mypool"

  tags = {
    Owner       = "infra"
    Environment = "production"
    Terraform   = true
  }

Example (complete)

This more complete example creates a AWS Cognito User Pool using a detailed configuration. Please check the example folder to get the example with all options:

Know issue

Removing all lambda triggers

If you define lambda triggers using the lambda_config block or any lambda_config_* variable and you want to remove all triggers, define the lambda_config block with an empty map {} and apply the plan. Then comment the lambda_config block or define it as null and apply the plan again.

This is needed because all paramters for the lambda_config block are optional and keeping all block attributes empty or null forces to create a lambda_config {} block very time a plan/apply is run.
