Terraform AWS SES credential resource

Question

I've searched but no information found. Can we create AWS SES credential by using terraform?

Answer 1

Use the following terraform code to get SES credentials -

resource "aws_iam_user" "smtp_user" {
  name = "smtp_user"
}

resource "aws_iam_access_key" "smtp_user" {
  user = aws_iam_user.smtp_user.name
}

data "aws_iam_policy_document" "ses_sender" {
  statement {
    actions   = ["ses:SendRawEmail"]
    resources = ["*"]
  }
}

resource "aws_iam_policy" "ses_sender" {
  name        = "ses_sender"
  description = "Allows sending of e-mails via Simple Email Service"
  policy      = data.aws_iam_policy_document.ses_sender.json
}

resource "aws_iam_user_policy_attachment" "test-attach" {
  user       = aws_iam_user.smtp_user.name
  policy_arn = aws_iam_policy.ses_sender.arn
}

output "smtp_username" {
  value = aws_iam_access_key.smtp_user.id
}

output "smtp_password" {
  value = aws_iam_access_key.smtp_user.ses_smtp_password_v4
}

aws ses smtp credentials are iam credentials converted to smtp credentials. You should create a iam user and output them as smtp credentials like with the module below https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-iam/tree/master/examples/iam-user
