Description

Some Availability Zones do not have a spot price for some reason
The API says there are no prices available
"Error: no EC2 Spot Price History found matching criteria; try different search"
The AWS Managed Console shows a similar picture
If we send a request without specifying AZ and there is no price in at least one AZ, the same error will occur.
The AWS documentation says this parameter is optional. Probably a bug in the terraform provider.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• aws_ec2_spot_price

Potential Terraform Configuration

data "aws_ec2_spot_price" "this" {

  allow_empty_results  = true

  instance_type     = "t3.medium"
  availability_zone = "us-west-2a"

  filter {
    name   = "product-description"
    values = ["Linux/UNIX"]
  }
}
