PR Type

Enhancement, Bug fix


Description

  • Updated RDS subnet group configuration for better modularity.

  • Added lifecycle rules to EC2 instances to ignore specific changes.

  • Replaced hardcoded subnet configurations with dynamic private subnets.

  • Removed VPC RDS module and one VPC for EC2 and RDS.

  • moved RDS instance to same private subnet as EC2 instances

  • Change RDS instance type for more resources

    PR Reviewer Guide 🔍

    Here are some key observations to aid the review process:

    ⏱️ Estimated effort to review: 4 🔵🔵🔵🔵⚪
    🧪 No relevant tests
    🔒 No security concerns identified
    ⚡ Recommended focus areas for review

    Possible Misconfiguration

    The db_subnet_group_name now references aws_db_subnet_group.db_subnet_group.name, which is dynamically created. Ensure that this change does not conflict with existing configurations or dependencies.

    db_subnet_group_name   = aws_db_subnet_group.db_subnet_group.name
    vpc_security_group_ids = [module.security_group.security_group_id]
    publicly_accessible    = false
    Lifecycle Ignore Changes

    The lifecycle block for aws_instance resources now ignores changes to ami, private_ip, and associate_public_ip_address. Validate that ignoring these changes will not cause unintended consequences during updates or scaling.

    lifecycle {
      ignore_changes = [
        ami,
        private_ip,
        associate_public_ip_address,
      ]
    }

    PR Code Suggestions ✨

    Security
    Restrict security group ingress CIDR blocks

    Verify that the cidr_blocks value in the security group ingress rule is
    appropriately restricted to trusted IP ranges to prevent unauthorized access.

    auto-drive/db.tf [141]

    -cidr_blocks = module.vpc.vpc_cidr_block
    +cidr_blocks = ["<trusted-ip-range>"] # Replace with specific trusted IP ranges
    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8

    Why: Restricting the cidr_blocks to trusted IP ranges is a critical security improvement. The suggestion is actionable and addresses a potential vulnerability in the security group configuration.

    8
    Validate database public access configuration

    Ensure that the publicly_accessible attribute is set to false only if the database
    does not require public access. If public access is necessary for specific use
    cases, consider implementing additional security measures such as IP whitelisting.

    auto-drive/db.tf [35]

    -publicly_accessible    = false
    +publicly_accessible    = false # Ensure this aligns with access requirements
    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

    Why: The suggestion to validate the publicly_accessible attribute is relevant for ensuring security and proper configuration. While it does not introduce a direct code change, it emphasizes an important security consideration, which is valuable.

    General
    Verify subnet CIDR block configurations

    Confirm that the private_subnets and public_subnets CIDR blocks do not overlap and
    are appropriately sized to avoid potential network conflicts.

    auto-drive/main.tf [35-36]

    -private_subnets = ["10.0.1.0/24", "10.0.2.0/24", "10.0.3.0/24"]
    -public_subnets  = ["10.0.101.0/24", "10.0.102.0/24", "10.0.103.0/24"]
    +private_subnets = ["10.0.1.0/24", "10.0.2.0/24", "10.0.3.0/24"] # Ensure no overlap with public subnets
    +public_subnets  = ["10.0.101.0/24", "10.0.102.0/24", "10.0.103.0/24"] # Validate against private subnets
    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 7

    Why: Ensuring that private and public subnet CIDR blocks do not overlap is an important step in avoiding network conflicts. The suggestion is relevant and promotes good network design practices.

    Validate lifecycle ignore changes configuration

    Review the ignore_changes lifecycle block to ensure that ignoring changes to ami,
    private_ip, and associate_public_ip_address does not inadvertently prevent necessary
    updates or cause configuration drift.

    templates/terraform/aws/ec2/main.tf [194-199]

     lifecycle {
       ignore_changes = [
    -    ami,
    -    private_ip,
    -    associate_public_ip_address,
    +    ami, # Ensure AMI updates are managed externally
    +    private_ip, # Confirm static IPs are not required
    +    associate_public_ip_address, # Validate public IP association needs
       ]
     }
    Suggestion importance[1-10]: 6

    Why: The suggestion to review the ignore_changes lifecycle block is valid and encourages careful consideration of potential configuration drift. However, it does not directly address a specific issue or provide a concrete improvement.
