Provision a secure Amazon DocumentDB cluster with Terraform

A walkthrough demonstrates provisioning a secure Amazon DocumentDB 8.0 cluster using Terraform, covering network isolation via private VPC subnets, TLS enforcement, encryption at rest with customer-managed KMS keys, AWS Secrets Manager-based credential management, and encrypted CloudWatch logging. The Terraform code is organized into modules for networking, the DocumentDB cluster, KMS keys, logging, and SSM Parameter Store outputs. It also covers deployment verification, connecting to the cluster, and cleanup steps, plus a summary of applied security best practices like key rotation, least-privilege key policies, and restrictive security groups.
