AWS Transfer Family introduces Terraform module for deploying SFTP server endpoints

AWS Transfer Family introduces a Terraform module for deploying managed file transfer (MFT) server endpoints backed by Amazon S3. This enables you to leverage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to automate and streamline centralized provisioning of MFT servers and users at scale.

AWS Transfer Family provides fully-managed file transfers over SFTP, AS2, FTPS, FTP, and web browser-based interfaces directly into and out of AWS storage services. Using the Terraform module, you can programmatically provision your Transfer Family server endpoints, associated dependencies and customizations in a single deployment. This eliminates time-consuming manual configurations and ensures you maintain consistent, secure implementations that can rapidly scale across departments. The new module provides end-to-end examples to create an SFTP endpoint, integrate with AWS CloudWatch for logging and monitoring, manage user identities for endpoint access, and configure IAM roles for access to S3 buckets where files are stored.

Customers can get started by downloading the Terraform module source code on GitHub. To learn more about Transfer Family, visit the product page and user-guide. To see all the regions where Transfer Family is available, visit the AWS Region table.
