Terraform

Last updated View as MarkdownAgent setup

Get started with API Shield using Terraform from the examples below. For more information on how to use Terraform with Cloudflare, refer to the Terraform documentation.

The following resources are available to configure through Terraform:

Session identifiers

Endpoint Management

Schema validation

JWT Validation

Manage API Shield session identifiers

Refer to the example configuration below to set up session identifiers on your zone.

Example configurationtf
resource "cloudflare_api_shield" "session_identifiers" {
  zone_id = var.zone_id
  auth_id_characteristics = [{
    name = "authorization"
    type = "header"
  }]
}

Manage API Shield Endpoint Management

Refer to the example configuration below to manage endpoints on your zone.

Example configurationtf
resource "cloudflare_api_shield_operation" "get_image" {
  zone_id  = var.zone_id
  method   = "GET"
  host     = "example.com"
  endpoint = "/api/images/{var1}"
}

resource "cloudflare_api_shield_operation" "post_image" {
  zone_id  = var.zone_id
  method   = "POST"
  host     = "example.com"
  endpoint = "/api/images/{var1}"
}

Manage Schema validation

Refer to the example configuration below to manage Schema validation on your zone.

Example configurationtf
# Schema that should be used for Schema validation
resource "cloudflare_schema_validation_schemas" "example_schema" {
  zone_id            = var.zone_id
  kind               = "openapi_v3"
  name               = "example-schema.yaml"
  # In this example, we assume that the `example-schema.yaml` includes `get_image` and `post_image` operations from above
  source             = file("./schemas/example-schema.yaml")
  validation_enabled = true
}

# Block all requests that violate schema by default
resource "cloudflare_schema_validation_settings" "zone_level_settings" {
  zone_id                              = var.zone_id
  validation_default_mitigation_action = "block"
}

# For endpoint post_image - only log requests that violate schema
resource "cloudflare_schema_validation_operation_settings" "post_image_log_only" {
  zone_id           = var.zone_id
  operation_id      = cloudflare_api_shield_operation.post_image.id
  mitigation_action = "log"
}

Validate JWTs

Refer to the example configuration below to perform JWT Validation on your zone.

Example configurationtf
# Setting up JWT validation with specific keying material and location of the token
resource "cloudflare_token_validation_config" "example_es256_config" {
  zone_id       = var.zone_id
  token_type    = "JWT"
  title         = "ES256 Example"
  description   = "An example configuration that validates ES256 JWTs with `b0078548-c9bc-46e5-a678-06fb72443427` key ID in the authorization header"
  token_sources = ["http.request.headers[\"authorization\"][0]"]
  credentials   = {
    keys = [
      {
        alg = "ES256"
        kid = "b0078548-c9bc-46e5-a678-06fb72443427"
        kty = "EC"
        crv = "P-256"
        x   = "yl_BZSxUG5II7kJCMxDfWImiU6zkcJcBYaTgzV3Jgnk"
        y   = "0qAzLQe_YGEdotb54qWq00k74QdiTOiWnuw_YzuIqr0"
      }
    ]
  }
}

# Setting up JWT rules for all configured endpoints on `example.com` except for `get_image`
resource "cloudflare_token_validation_rules" "example_com" {
 zone_id      = var.zone_id
 title        = "Validate JWTs on example.com"
 description  = "This actions JWT validation results for requests to example.com except for the get_image endpoint"
 action       = "block"
 enabled      = true
 # Require that the JWT described through the example_es256_config is valid.
 # Reference the ID of the generated token config, this constructs: is_jwt_valid("<id>")
 # If the expression is >not true<, Cloudflare will perform the configured action on the request
 expression   = format("(is_jwt_valid(%q))", cloudflare_token_validation_config.example_es256_config.id)
 selector     = {
    # all current and future operations matching this include selector will perform the described action when the expression fails to match
    include = [
      {
        host          = ["example.com"]
      }
    ]
    exclude = [
      {
        # reference the ID of the get_image operation to exclude it
        operation_ids = ["${cloudflare_api_shield_operation.get_image.id}"]
      }
    ]
 }
}

# With JWT validation, we can also refine session identifiers to use claims from the JWT
resource "cloudflare_api_shield" "session_identifiers" {
  zone_id = var.zone_id
  auth_id_characteristics = [{
    # select the JWT's `sub` claim as an extremely stable session identifier
    # this is "<token_config_id:json_path>" format
    name = "${cloudflare_token_validation_config.example_es256_config.id}:$.sub"
    type = "jwt"
  }]
}
