Description

During Re:Invent 2018 AWS Global Accelerator was announced. This feature request is for implementing resources for it in Terraform AWS provider.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• aws_accelerator - Creates global accelerator
• aws_accelerator_endpoint_configuration - Included in aws_accelerator_endpoint_group to workaround inability to include dynamic blocks in Terraform.
• aws_accelerator_endpoint_group - An endpoint group which maps to listener from aws_accelerator_listener
• aws_accelerator_listener - A listener which maps to aws_accelerator

Question about dynamic blocks

Let me know what are the AWS provider guidelines regarding working around Terraform dynamic blocks. Since the new Terraform release is just around the corner, do you think it makes sense to create the aws_accelerator_endpoint_configuration meta-resource (does not directly map to AWS API)?

Hi folks 👋 Since general "Support AWS Service X" issues tend to become a collect-all for random feature requests and bug reports, I'm going to close this issue out just to prevent that problem now. There is already a new separate issue to support managing Global Accelerator Endpoint Groups via a new aws_globalaccelerator_endpoint_group resource, which can be upvoted and tracked here: #7965

For other Global Accelerator feature requests and bug reports, please file new GitHub issue(s). Thanks! 👍
