Usage

{
  "id": "roles",
  "type": "aws:iam:role",
  "module": "iam-role@1.0.0",
  "inputs": {
    "role_name": "acdl-microservice-exec",
    "assume_role_policy": "{\"Version\":\"2012-10-17\",\"Statement\":[{\"Effect\":\"Allow\",\"Principal\":{\"Service\":\"ecs-tasks.amazonaws.com\"},\"Action\":\"sts:AssumeRole\"}]}",
    "managed_policies": "arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/service-role/AmazonECSTaskExecutionRolePolicy",
    "region": "us-east-1"
  }
}

The assume_role_policy is a JSON string — the adapter jsonencodes it into the Terraform assume_role_policy argument. The managed_policies input is a comma-separated list of ARNs, emitted as managed_policy_arns = [...].

Compliance extension points

• Permissions boundary — add permissions_boundary to enforce least-privilege guardrails (SOC2 CC6.1, SOX ITGC, DORA ICT access control).
• Inline policy — add aws_iam_role_policy for fine-grained least-privilege instead of broad managed policies (SOC2 CC6.1, HIPAA §164.308(a)(4)).
• MFA conditions — add condition blocks requiring MFA for assume-role (SOC2 CC6.1, HIPAA §164.312(d)).
• Source IP / region conditions — add aws:SourceIp / aws:RequestedRegion conditions for data residency enforcement (GDPR Art.44-49, DORA ICT third-party risk).
• Access Analyzer — add aws_accessanalyzer_analyzer to verify least-privilege (SOC2 CC6.1, GDPR Art.32).
• Role separation — add a separate task role vs. execution role (SOC2 CC6.3 segregation of duties).
