Description

I would like to use terraform to manage AWS Shield Advance Subscriptions which are available via the API, which is part of AWS WAF.
General documentation can be found here.
Also find information about the boto library or the cli reference.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• aws_shield_subscription

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "aws_shield_subscription" "example" {
  name       = "example"
  auto_renew = false # Or true

  tags = {
    Organization = "ACME"
  }
}

The resource is more or less useless because there is no return body for it. Also the auto_renew can only be used with the implementation with UpdateSubscription.
As well i do not know if tags are supported. WAF is listed in general but not shield.

Until the feature is implemented, you can create a subscription like this:

resource "null_resource" "aws_shield_create_subscription" {
  provisioner "local-exec" {
    interpreter = ["bash", "-x", "-c"]
    command     = <<EOF
if [ "$(aws shield get-subscription-state --profile ${var.profile_name} --query SubscriptionState --output text)" == INACTIVE ]; then
  echo Creating AWS Shield Advanced subscription ...
  aws shield create-subscription --profile ${var.profile_name}
  echo Done.
else
  echo AWS Shield Advanced subscription is already active.
fi
EOF
  }
}

Note that a subscription cannot be removed programmatically. You need to open a support case for that. A subscription can cost thousand of dollars per month, so use this code wisely.
