import { SharedVpc, CrossAccountIAMRoles, GitHubActionsOIDC } from "@adaptiveworx/iac-aws";

const vpc = new SharedVpc("dev-use1", {

  availabilityZones: ["us-east-1a", "us-east-1b", "us-east-1c"],
  natGatewayCount: 3,
  enableIpv6: true, // dual-stack: a /64 on every subnet
  subnetTiers: [
    // With enableIpv6 every tier declares a unique, permanent ipv6Slot (0–15). role names the
    // workloads a tier holds; shareWith names the accounts it is shared with.
    { name: "public", role: "load-balancers", routeToInternet: true, shareWith: [], ipv6Slot: 0 },
    { name: "private", role: "apps", routeToInternet: false, shareWith: ["worx-app-dev"], ipv6Slot: 1 },

});

SharedVpc and IPv6

enableIpv6: true makes the VPC dual-stack throughout: an Amazon-provided /56 on the VPC; on every subnet a /64 (netnum = ipv6Slot * 16 + AZ-letter index, so adding an AZ or a tier never renumbers an existing subnet) with IPv6 assigned to new network interfaces; IPv6 rules on every tier NACL (numbered IPv4 counterpart + 1000, plus UDP return and ICMPv6 Packet Too Big); ::/0 to the internet gateway on public tiers and to an egress-only gateway on private tiers, with or without NAT; dual-stack VPC endpoints where the service supports IPv6.

• allowIpv4PublicIngress (default false, since 0.5.0): no internet-initiated IPv4 inbound on the public tier. Set it to true only for a production-facing edge; it adds IPv4 443/80 inbound (rules 100/110) to the public NACL.
• allowIpv6PublicIngress (default false): no internet-initiated IPv6 inbound; the tiers keep their required egress and its return traffic. Set it to true only for a production-facing edge that must accept internet-initiated IPv6; it adds IPv6 443/80 inbound to the public NACL. The public ::/0 route is always present (it is IPv6 egress), so security groups remain the control on inbound IPv6.
• IPv6 egress cannot reach IPv4-only destinations (e.g. github.com, ghcr.io), and there is no DNS64/NAT64. natGatewayCount: 0 with private tiers is valid only when their workloads use VPC endpoints or IPv6-capable destinations exclusively.

Details: docs/security-implementation.md.

Tier roles, sharing and renames

• role names the workloads a tier holds. It is tagged Role on the tier's subnets and NACL. Required (0.6.0).
• shareWith lists the accounts (by their names in sharedAccounts) a tier's subnets are shared with through RAM. A tier sharing with every account goes in the main share; a narrower set gets a share of its own; [] shares with no account. Required (0.6.0); every name must be in sharedAccounts (fail closed). shareViaRam was removed in 0.6.0 and is refused: replace shareViaRam: true with every account in sharedAccounts, false with []. The default tiers (defaultSubnetTiers(sharedAccounts)) share private and data with every account.
• formerNames renames a tier without replacing anything: every resource named after the tier carries its old logical name as a Pulumi alias, so the preview shows tag updates only. The standard outputs (publicSubnetIds, privateSubnetIds, dataSubnetIds) and NAT placement follow a renamed tier through its former name. tierSubnetIds lists every tier by its current name.
• Each subnet is tagged AzId with its zone ID (zone names map to physical zones per account). Pass availabilityZoneIds or let the component look them up (aws.getAvailabilityZones); under Pulumi mocks, return names and zoneIds for that call.
• Exported helpers: tierAliases, tierNamed, validateTierSharing, tierShareTargets, legacyRamAssociationNames.

See each component's source for its full options interface.

Upgrading to 0.6.0

Every consumer: the next preview renames each subnet's RAM association from a running index (<env>-ram-<tier>-<n>) to tier and AZ letter (<env>-ram-<tier>-<a…p>) through an alias, and adds the AzId tag (plus Role where declared) to subnets. Nothing is replaced. Test suites under mocks must answer aws:index/getAvailabilityZones:getAvailabilityZones with names and zoneIds, or pass availabilityZoneIds.

A stack that renames tiers, moves to shareWith or stops sharing a tier in the same apply: pass legacyRamSharedTiers with the tiers that were in the main share before, by the names then applied (e.g. ["public", "private", "data"]). Without it the associations it keeps are deleted and recreated, which briefly unshares their subnets. Check the preview: a kept tier's associations must show as renames, never as create plus delete.

Upgrading to 0.5.0

Who must act: consumers with a public tier whose public subnets take internet-initiated HTTPS/HTTP over IPv4 (e.g. a public load balancer). Set allowIpv4PublicIngress: true for them.

The public tier NACL's TCP 443 and 80 rules from 0.0.0.0/0 (rules 100 and 110) are now opt-in, symmetric with allowIpv6PublicIngress. Without the flag the next preview deletes those two rule entries per public tier and changes nothing else. The VPC CIDR rule (95) and the return-traffic rule (120) stay, so public-tier targets remain reachable from inside the VPC and keep their egress.

Upgrading to 0.4.0

0.4.0 is the release that marks the SharedVpc IPv6 change as breaking. The change itself first shipped in 0.3.4, which is deprecated: it was released as a patch although it breaks some consumers. Pin to 0.3.3 or move to 0.4.0; don't use 0.3.4.

Who must act: consumers that set enableIpv6: true.

• Custom subnetTiers: every tier must declare ipv6Slot (an integer 0–15, unique across tiers). Without it the component throws at construction, so nothing is deployed. Choose the slots once and never change them: a tier's slot fixes its subnets' /64s.
• Default tiers: they carry slots 0/1/2, so construction succeeds, but the next preview turns on IPv6 everywhere. Every subnet gains a /64 and assign-on-create (in-place updates, never replacements), every tier NACL gains IPv6 rules, private tiers gain an egress-only gateway route, and endpoints become dual-stack. Review it as a deliberate network change, per environment.
• allowIpv6PublicIngress now defaults to false, and the public ::/0 route is always present with IPv6 (see SharedVpc and IPv6).

Consumers without enableIpv6 see no change.

Versioning & releases

This package ships independent semver. Below 1.0, a breaking change bumps the minor version (0.3.x → 0.4.0) and features and fixes bump the patch. Breaking changes are marked (!), so a ^0.y.z range never admits one. See the root CHANGELOG conventions and this package's CHANGELOG.md.
