AWS Certificate Manager w/ Cert Manager
It’s a plugin to cert-manager. Not EKS specific per se. It just needs regular aws credentials to your AWS account’s private CA…

@Vlad Ionescu (he/him) Correct me if I’m wrong but apprunner can basically handle:
• submit dockerfile, spec to apprunner
• put containers behind elb
• –> public access to containers right? I have a friend that is running a containerized app locally across some people’s desktops and I was thinking that apprunner might be a very simple, albeit expensive solution, for him to host a couple containers and provide public access to these people?
Yup AppRunner + Copilot should handle that.
For max-lazy-levels I’d also check out the native Docker-to-ECS integration.
Is copilot GA though?
also I’d like to avoid ecs.
Yup, Copilot CLI has been GA for a while
If you wanna avoid ECS, then AppRunner it is! Copilot just makes it easier to setup for a newbie, that’s why I mentioned it

Sharing a question from #terraform for today’s office hours…
Hello team!
TLDR Question: Do you have tips/suggestions/pointers/resources on creating plugins for tflint?
Details: I have a group of 15-20 modules that I’d like to be coded consistently, specifically:
• All modules have inputs for name, environment, and tags
• All variables have a description, and optionally a type if applicable
• All outputs have a description
• All AWS resources that can be tagged, have their tag attribute assigned like tag = merge(vars.tags, local.tags) and optionally an resource level override like tag = merge(vars.tags, local.tags, {RESOURCE = OVERRIDE})
So far I have python scripts that are doing most of these but as I went deeper into the weeds, I thought a tool like tflint might be better suited. So before I go down that route, I’m looking for best practices and tips from those that have been there and done that. Thanks! 
Also as mentioned in #terraform, looks like the ability to generate resource templates with the add command is in the pipe:

@here any more questions I can add to the agenda?

Q: how to import 826 resources into terraform state - only 273 are in state file? any idea tool? @Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)
FYI, I’m pretty sure there are zero deep merge options other than what Cloudposse has done out of the box with terraform. It can get tricky. Either use your own libraries or try the yaml-stack-config libraries to do the merge and save yourself the headache. https://github.com/cloudposse/terraform-yaml-stack-config
Oh yes, this is the only option.
We looked long and hard before implementing it. And we tried some of the hacks, but they were exceptionally slow. E.g. we had plans taking 40 minutes to deep merge just the YAML in native HCL. When we used our provider, it took 1 second.
If anyone has used both CDK for Terraform and Pulumi I’d be interested in any impressions. I have a team of Go developers, so using HCL is actually harder for me to get adopted at this time.
tflint --module --enable-rule=terraform_deprecated_index --enable-rule=terraform_unused_declarations --enable-rule=terraform_documented_outputs --enable-rule=terraform_required_providers --enable-rule=terraform_unused_required_providers

“Rejected” is a little dramatic (@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse))
1
pretty mch rejected
this was their “solution”
Are you guys still using your own Atlantis fork at CP?
nah, we gave up maintaining it
@jose.amengual tried to reintroduce the patch for atlantis
and it’s still not been merged.
but it will be…but I will not use the word soon again

Are the cloudposse modules tested using Terraform Cloud in addition to other, standard setups?
Bah, unable to join
Work conflict, maybe next time.
will address today

With default_tags now possible to define at the terraform provider level, is there a difference in recommended usage for CloudPosse’s null label module?
Edit: Fortuitously, I think this is already being addressed with the new labels_as_tags field.
hah! i just saw your message now

Anton would like to not have to maintain this more and would like everyone to upvote this issue in order to do so.
https://sweetops.slack.com/archives/CHDR1EWNA/p1629919446057200
“Anton would like to not have to maintain this more” is a bit wrong. I still would like to maintain a lot of projects but leave serverless-building-package-magic for AWS guys since they do this already in SAM CLI
