cdk-vpc-module

cdk-vpc-module construct library is an open-source extension of the AWS Cloud Development Kit (AWS CDK) to deploy configurable aws vpc and its individual components in less than 50 lines of code and human readable configuration which can be managed by pull requests!

:sparkles: Features

• :white_check_mark: Option to configure custom IPv4 CIDR(10.10.0.0/24)
• :white_check_mark: VPC Peering with route table entry
• :white_check_mark: Configurable NACL as per subnet group
• :white_check_mark: NATGateway as per availabilityZones

Using cdk a vpc can be deployed using the following sample code snippet:

import { Network } from "@smallcase/cdk-vpc-module/lib/constructs/network";
import { aws_ec2 as ec2, App, Stack, StackProps } from "aws-cdk-lib";
import { Construct } from "constructs";

export class VPCStack extends Stack {
  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, props: StackProps = {}) {

    })
    const monitoringEndpointIamPermission = new iam.PolicyStatement({

:clapper: Quick Start

The quick start shows you how to create an AWS-VPC using this module.

Prerequisites

• A working aws CLI installation with access to an account and administrator privileges
• You'll need a recent NodeJS installation

To get going you'll need a CDK project. For details please refer to the detailed guide for CDK.

Create an empty directory on your system.

mkdir aws-quick-start-vpc && cd aws-quick-start-vpc

Bootstrap your CDK project, we will use TypeScript, but you can switch to any other supported language.

npx cdk init sample-vpc  --language typescript
npx cdk bootstrap

Install using NPM:

npm install @smallcase/cdk-vpc-module

Using yarn

yarn add @smallcase/cdk-vpc-module

Check the changed which are to be deployed

~ -> npx cdk diff

Deploy using

~ -> npx cdk deploy

Features Multiple VPC Endpoints: Define and manage multiple VPC Endpoints in one configuration. Flexible Subnet Selection: Attach VPC Endpoints to multiple subnet groups or external subnets. Custom Security Groups: Configure security groups for Interface VPC Endpoints. IAM Policies: Attach custom IAM policies to control access to the VPC Endpoints. Tagging: Apply custom tags to each VPC Endpoint.

Defining VPC Endpoints Configuration You can define multiple VPC Endpoints in the vpcEndpoints: [] configuration array. Each VPC Endpoint can be customized with different subnet groups, IAM policies, security group rules, and tags.

vpcEndpoints: [
  {
    name: "test-s3-gw",
    service: ec2.GatewayVpcEndpointAwsService.S3,
    subnetGroupNames: ["ManageServicePrivate", "ToolPrivate", "Database"],  // Subnet groups for the endpoint
    externalSubnets: [
      {
        id: "subnet-<id>",
        availabilityZone: "ap-south-1a",
        routeTableId: "rtb-<id>",
      },
      {
        id: "subnet-<id>",
        availabilityZone: "ap-south-1b",
        routeTableId: "rtb-<id>",
      }
    ],
    iamPolicyStatements: [s3EndpointIamPermission],  // Custom IAM policy for the endpoint
  },
  {
    name: "DynamoDbGatewayEndpoint",
    service: ec2.GatewayVpcEndpointAwsService.DYNAMODB,
    subnetGroupNames: ["private-subnet"],
    additionalTags: {
      Environment: "Staging",
    },
  },
],

In this example:

The S3 Gateway Endpoint is created in three subnet groups: ManageServicePrivate, ToolPrivate, and Database. External subnets are specified with their IDs, availability zones, and route table IDs for the S3 endpoint. A custom IAM policy (s3EndpointIamPermission) is attached to control access to the S3 endpoint. A DynamoDB Gateway Endpoint is created in the private-subnet with additional tags specifying the environment and ownership.

Configuration Options Here’s a breakdown of the configuration options available:

1. name: A unique name for the VPC Endpoint.
2. service: The AWS service the VPC Endpoint connects to (e.g., S3, DynamoDB, Secrets Manager)
3. subnetGroupNames: The subnet group names where the VPC Endpoint will be deployed.
4. externalSubnets: Specify external subnets if you need to define subnets manually (each with an id, availabilityZone, and routeTableId).
5. iamPolicyStatements: (Optional) Attach IAM policy statements to control access to the endpoint.
6. additionalTags: (Optional) Add custom tags to the VPC Endpoint for easier identification and tracking.
