terraform 将资源 ID 检索到变量中，以用于创建带有环境变量的 lambda

Question

I am trying to use terraform to standup aws cognito, and dynamically pass some output value of the created resource as environment variables to a lambda resource that terraform will also create.

I have a lambda function that handles authentication with cognito, and requires the cognito client app id and client app secret to function.

Wondering if there is a way to get this metadata within terraform and reference it when the lambda resource gets created.

Answer 1

The Terraform aws_cognito_user_pool_client resource, which you will use to create the Cognito user pool client via Terraform, has those values you mention as outputs . All you need to do is reference those values in your Lambda resource. Like so:

resource "aws_cognito_user_pool_client" "my_app_client" {
 ...
}

resource "aws_lambda_function" "my_lambda_function" { 
 ...

 environment {
  variables = {
    "COGNITO_CLIENT_ID"     = aws_cognito_user_pool_client.my_app_client.id,
    "COGNITO_CLIENT_SECRET" = aws_cognito_user_pool_client.my_app_client.client_secret
  }
 }
}
