resource "aws_launch_template" "this" {
  name = "test"
  image_id = data.aws_ami.amazon_linux.image_id
  instance_type = "t3a.nano"
  vpc_security_group_ids = [
    "ID HERE"

  }
}

Debug Output

Panic Output

Expected Behavior

As stated in the documentation I would expect the default value for http_endpoint to be enabled and therefore I would expect that no error would be thrown.

Actual Behavior

An error is thrown indicating that the string is actually empty.

Error: InvaldiParameterValue: A value of '' is not valid for http-endpoint. Valid values are 'enabled' or 'disabled'

From my perspective either the documentation is incorrect or the default value is missing in the provider.

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform apply
