Description

Re-opening a very old request (#6977) for the S3 Bucket Policy data-source as I feel it warrants an actual discussion request.

We have a few situations where we'd like to be able to reference an existing S3 Bucket Policy to append an new Statement into it then apply that policy 'back' to the S3 bucket (using aws_iam_policy_document and source_json to perform the merge).

Currently we're just using a separate S3 Object to 'mirror' this S3 Bucket Policy and reading/writing to that object before/after the Bucket Policy application, but this is hacky and involves extra steps and increases the chances of failure!

New or Affected Resource(s)

}
