can not update capacity provider using same name

[encryptblockr]

Can not update capacity provider if already exists, so maybe have a name_prefix option so we can add this

    lifecycle {
     create_before_destroy = true
   }

and solve this issue?

Error: error creating capacity provider: ClientException: The specified capacity provider already exists. To change the configuration of an existing capacity provider, update the capacity provider.

$ terraform -v
Terraform v0.12.18
+ provider.aws v2.42.0
+ provider.template v2.1.2

fixed this by just using the name of autoscaling group which uses the name of the launch configuration since the launch configuration changes and helps to trigger updating the ASG and also the capacity provider

anyone having this issue should make name of capacity provider to like the name of autoscaling group or launch configuration
