[New Resource]: aws_imagebuilder_lifecycle_policy

[seanturner026]

Description

Image Builder recently added a lifecycle manager that would be super handy in preventing the accumulation of AMIs (and EBS Snapshots?) which cost $$.

Hey @seanturner026 thanks for taking the time to raise this issue! 👏🏼 Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're pointing to the EC2 Image Builder Lifecycle Policy right?

In that case, I think we should rename the resource: aws_imagebuilder_lifecycle_policy 👍🏼

API reference:

• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/imagebuilder/latest/APIReference/API_CreateLifecyclePolicy.html
• https://docs.aws.amazon.com/imagebuilder/latest/APIReference/API_DeleteLifecyclePolicy.html

Sounds good! Will update the original post to reflect that. I was looking in the AWS Console when I originally started creating this issue which refers to the resource as a lifecycle I believe.

I'll happily pick this up too 🚀

Hey, are there any updates on this?

[bschaatsbergen]

Hey @sophiecosgrove, I'm still working on this - it's just in my "todo" of provider tickets I'm currently working on. I aim to have this done next week.

[bschaatsbergen]

Just a quick update: We're actively working on the issue in the background. However, it's taking a bit longer than expected because we need to update the entire image builder service in this provider to use the AWS SDK v2. Thanks for your patience.

Update as of March 1st: We're almost finished moving the imagebuilder service to V2. @DanielRieske has been helping me with this because there's a lot of work to be done.

Update as of March 11: We've implemented the resource and finished the migration to the aws-sdk-v2, it became a really large PR and we need to loop in the core team for this change.

Update as of April 5: @DanielRieske is finalizing the last acceptance tests.

Any updates? Trying to wait patiently on this one :) ...

a new AWS provider has been introduced "awscc" which hosts this feature with:

awscc_imagebuilder_lifecycle_policy (Resource)
Resource schema for AWS::ImageBuilder::LifecyclePolicy

Hi everyone, small update on this.

We are still actively working on getting this merged however we are running in a problem with certain arguments not being serialized.
For this we have created an issue upstream aws/aws-sdk#736 to fix for which we are waiting.
As soon as this is picked up we will continue on the PR,

Hey @sophiecosgrove 👋🏼,
