AWS Storage Gateway Terraform Modules Update

AWS Storage Gateway Terraform modules now support Amazon Linux 2023-based deployments, enhancing security, reliability, and operational simplicity for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) provisioning. This update applies to all gateway types, including Amazon S3 File Gateway, Tape Gateway, and Volume Gateway, in both Amazon EC2 and VMware environments.

Key improvements include:

  • Security: IMDSv2 is enforced by default for EC2 deployments, safeguarding against credential theft and SSRF attacks.
  • Operational Simplicity: The update prevents unexpected gateway replacements during routine Terraform operations and simplifies Active Directory integration with optional domain controller configuration.
  • Flexibility: EC2-based gateways now support optional Elastic IP address (EIP) association, allowing for fully private gateway activations.

What to do

  • Download the Terraform Storage Gateway module to start using the new features.
  • Review the AWS Storage Gateway product page and the Storage Gateway User Guide for more information.
  • Check the AWS Region Table for regional availability.
