AHA is an incident management & communication framework to provide real-time alert customers when there are active AWS event(s). For customers with AWS Organizations, customers can get aggregated active account level events of all the accounts in the Organization. Customers not using AWS Organizations still benefit alerting at the account level.

Question: What is the reason for building the an S3 bucket for each region #48

Open nandac opened 1 year ago

Dear Folks,

I have a question regarding the following Terraform resources:

resource "aws_s3_bucket" "AHA-S3Bucket-PrimaryRegion" {
    count      = "${var.ExcludeAccountIDs != "" ? 1 : 0}"
    bucket     = "aha-bucket-${var.aha_primary_region}-${random_string.resource_code.result}"
    tags = {
      Name        = "aha-bucket"
    }
}

resource "aws_s3_bucket" "AHA-S3Bucket-SecondaryRegion" {
    count      = "${var.aha_secondary_region != "" && var.ExcludeAccountIDs != "" ? 1 : 0}"
    provider   = aws.secondary_region
    bucket     = "aha-bucket-${var.aha_secondary_region}-${random_string.resource_code.result}"
    tags = {
      Name        = "aha-bucket"
    }
}

I was not able to figure out what they are used for.

I think they are used for a CSV file holding data about excluded accounts if so I do not see a reason to create these buckets if I were just to pass the excluded accounts as a list in Terraform that is interpreted in python as a string and parsed.

If someone could tell me what these buckets are used for that would be great.

Many thanks.
