Encrypted EBS Volumes with Snapshot Lifecycle
Volumes that are always encrypted, optional attachment, and a DLM snapshot schedule in the same module - because a volume with no schedule is one copy of your data on hardware that can fail, and leaving snapshots to somebody else usually means nobody.
Verification
Live-testedReally deployed to a cloud sandbox, verified against its outputs and assertions, then destroyed - with the teardown confirmed.
Conformance
- Static validation (fmt · validate · tflint)
- Security scan clean (Checkov)
- Plan test superseded by live test
Provenance
- SHA-256 checksum
- Signature (pending)
Functional
- Live-tested on registry.opentofu.org/hashicorp/aws - applied, verified, destroyed

Documentation
aws-ebs-volume
EBS volumes - always encrypted - with optional attachment and a DLM snapshot
schedule. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), AWS provider
>= 6.0, < 7.0.
Two opinions built in:
- Encryption is not an option, it is always on. An unencrypted volume cannot be encrypted in place: it has to be snapshotted, copied with encryption and replaced, while something is using it. Making it a flag invites the version of this that is painful to undo
- The snapshot policy lives here. A volume with no snapshot schedule is a single copy of your data on hardware that can fail, and creating the volume while leaving snapshots to "somebody else" is how an unbacked-up production disk happens, because somebody else is usually nobody
Smaller things the validation catches at plan rather than at apply:
multi_attachonly exists onio2target_tagson the snapshot policy must be non-empty, or it would match every volume in the accountinterval_hoursmust be one of the values DLM acceptsfinal_snapshotdefaults on, andforce_detachdefaults off - detaching a mounted volume corrupts the filesystem
Verification
Static validation runs tofu fmt, init, validate, tflint and checkov.
This module has not yet had a live test, so it is published as statically
validated with its live test pending and does not carry the live-tested mark.

Related modules
aws-datasync
preserve_deleted_files = REMOVE deletes files at the DESTINATION that are absent from the source, so an unmounted share or a renamed path empties the destination on schedule and the task reports success. PRESERVE here, with verification on, a bandwidth ceiling so it cannot take the whole Direct Connect, and a per-file report of what failed.
aws-s3-bucket
Private S3 bucket with encryption, versioning, public-access block, and TLS-only policy.
aws-backup
A vault, its plans and what they protect, with the service role that can restore as well as back up. Vault Lock is stated rather than defaulted: COMPLIANCE mode cannot be removed by anybody once its window elapses, which is the point and is irreversible.
aws-efs
An EFS file system with mount targets, a least-privilege NFS security group, lifecycle tiering, automatic backups, and a resource policy that enforces encryption in transit.
aws-fsx-lustre
A Lustre file system with the S3 link, root squash and compression set deliberately. SCRATCH deployments are not replicated - a lost file server loses the data - so this defaults to PERSISTENT_2 and refuses the combinations FSx accepts quietly.
aws-s3-tables
Amazon S3 Tables: a table bucket, its namespaces and Iceberg tables. Three maintenance jobs run by default and together they set how long history survives - snapshots expire at 120 hours, unreferenced objects are deleted permanently 13 days later, compaction targets 512 MB. This module makes each an input and returns the resulting window, and validates the numbers the provider does not.
