vpc_id = aws_vpc.tf-vpc.id
tags = {
Name = "tf-carrier-gw"
}
resource "aws_ec2_carrier_gateway" "tf_carrier_gateway" {
vpc_id = aws_vpc.tf-vpc.id
tags = {
Name = "tf-carrier-gw"
}
}
resource "aws_ec2_carrier_gateway" "tf_carrier_gateway" {
vpc_id = aws_vpc.tf-vpc.id
tags = {
Name = "tf-carrier-gw"
}
}

Explanation in Terraform Registry
Manages an EC2 Carrier Gateway. See the AWS documentation for more information.
Tips: Best Practices for The Other AWS Amazon EC2 Resources
In addition to the aws_default_vpc, AWS Amazon EC2 has the other resources that should be configured for security reasons. Please check some examples of those resources and precautions.
aws_default_vpc
Ensure to avoid using default VPC
It is better to define the own VPC and use it.
aws_network_acl_rule
Ensure your network ACL rule blocks unwanted inbound traffic
It is better to block unwanted inbound traffic.
aws_ebs_volume
Ensure to use a customer-managed key for EBS volume encryption
It is better to use a customer-managed key for EBS volume encryption. It can be gain more control over the encryption by using customer-managed keys (CMK).
aws_instance
Ensure to avoid storing AWS access keys in user data
It is better to avoid storing AWS access keys in user data. `aws_iam_instance_profile` could be used instead.
aws_security_group
Ensure your security group blocks unwanted inbound traffic
It is better to block unwanted inbound traffic.
