Description

There is already the instance_type data source, but we want the instance_types resource too so we can get instances using filters from the describe-instance-types API.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• aws_ec2_instance_types

Potential Terraform Configuration

data "aws_ec2_instance_types" "test" {
  filter {
    name   = "auto-recovery-supported"
    values = ["true"]
  }

  filter {
	name = "network-info.encryption-in-transit-supported"
	values = ["true"]
  }

  filter {
	name = "instance-storage-supported"
	values = ["true"]
  }

  filter {
	name = "instance-type"
	values = ["g5.2xlarge", "g5.4xlarge"]
  }
}
