Combining Usage of Terraform's zipmap, Maps, and Lists

Managing your cloud infrastructure can often be a daunting task, especially when dealing with numerous resources such as subnets and Elastic IPs (EIPs). Within the Terraform ecosystem, efficient management of public and private subnets is key. This guide will delve into how you can effectively combine zipmap, maps, and lists in Terraform to optimize your subnet management in both public and private settings.

The Challenge: Organizing Subnets

In typical cloud deployment scenarios, you may need to allocate subnets to different users. For our case, we want to create maps that allow us to easily access the subnets associated with individual users. Here's a quick overview of the problem:

For Public Subnets

We have the following CIDR blocks allocated per user:

And a list of associated subnet IDs:

Our goal is to create a mapping:

For Private Subnets

Similarly, we have private CIDRs allocated such that each user gets two:

And a list for associated IDs:

The Solution

Implementing Public Subnets

To create the desired public lookup map, we can utilize the following code snippet:

This script will produce an output, but be cautious! The iteration may lead to unexpected order due to the lexicographical arrangement of keys.

Implementing Private Subnets

For private subnets, it’s recommended to utilize an intermediary local variable to enhance readability. The implementation goes as follows:

Verification of Order

Remember, the result from priv_lookup_map should maintain the expected mapping arrangement if both input maps are lexicographically ordered.

This will streamline your provisioning process, enabling you to allocate resources efficiently as you deploy your VPC.

Conclusion

By effectively using zipmap, maps, and lists in Terraform, you can create streamlined, organized mappings for both public and private subnets. Such organization not only simplifies code readability but also enhances deployment efficiency for your AWS infrastructure. As you apply these techniques, always double-check your key orders to ensure accurate associations.

With these patterns in mind, happy provisioning!
