Feature Request: aws_vpn_connection BGP ASN Attribute

[vcaixeta]

Hi guys,
Under aws_vpn_connection it would be great if we could have the an attribute 'aws_bgp_asn', so we can fetch the bgp asn that aws selected, they use a few different ones when setting up new VPNs. I can see that its included in the attribute customer_gateway_configuration, that is a XML file with the full vpn config, but I just can't find a way to parse and get only their ASN.

This would help a lot setting up VPNs using BGP from different providers (e.g: google gcp) towards aws, in fact that's exactly what I am doing and the only step still manual is the aws bgp asn number, everything else I can get from terraform attributes quite easily :)

Eg: On gcp side would be great to be able to add the peer_as from an aws_resource attribute instead of manual when deploying an aws+gcp vpn with bgp:

resource "google_compute_router_peer" "gcp-peer-router-1" {
name = "tf-gcp-router-1"
router = "${google_compute_router.gcp-router.name}"
peer_ip_address = "${aws_vpn_connection.tunnel_1.tunnel1_vgw_inside_address}"
peer_asn = 9059 <<<<--- This guy
advertised_route_priority = 100
interface = "interface-1"
}

Terraform Version: 0.9.11
Thank you very much!

Hi @vcaixeta,

We discussed this on Gitter IM but I'll close this out here so others can see where we landed:

This feature was introduced in the 0.1.2 release of the now-separated AWS provider, in hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws#973. Since 0.10 is not final yet, there is no automatic way to get access to that provider version, but those still on 0.9 who need this feature can manually download that version and place its binary in the same directory as terraform itself. Due to changes between 0.9 and 0.10, it will be necessary to rename the downloaded file to just terraform-provider-aws, removing the version number portion from the filename.

Once 0.10 final is out, this new AWS provider version will be available for automatic installation via terraform init.
