Description

I'd like to filter my launch templates using create-time and tags and that seems supported by the API

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/ec2/describe-launch-templates.html

The name would have to switched to optional so we can find stuff by tag.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• aws_launch_template

Potential Terraform Configuration

data "aws_launch_template" "default" {
  tags {
    "ami"           = "ami-12983912839"
    "instance-type" = "r5"
  }
}

Support for finding by tags on the aws_launch_template data source has been merged and will release with version 2.55.0 of the Terraform AWS Provider, likely later today. Thanks to @DrFaust92 for the implementation. 👍

If you're still interested in creation time, please submit a new feature request. Thanks!
