Description

As described here, Lightsail supports the use of a load balancer. I have already begun initial work to get this implemented, and future work will be needed (e.g. attachment, certificates). This is being opened for visibility, updates, and tracking.

New or Affected Resource(s)

Proposed resource name is:

• aws_lightsail_load_balancer

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "aws_lightsail_load_balancer" "example_load_balancer_name" {
  load_balancer_name = "test"
  instance_port      = "5000"
  health_check_path  = "/health"
  tags = {
    "tag_1" = "test"
  }
}

For Awareness I have begun work on creating a separate AWS lightsail provider in order to help with Speeding up contributions and to give it dedicated attention.

The Github repo is located here: https://github.com/DeYoungTech/terraform-provider-awslightsail

The provider and documentation is published here: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/DeYoungTech/awslightsail/latest

With the most recent version, the provider has moved past resource parity for lightsail services and It includes this resource.

If you want to start using this resource now, feel free to check it out and provide feedback.
