Terraform Version

v0.9.11

Affected Resource(s)

Please list the resources as a list, for example:

• aws_dms_replication_instance

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "aws_dms_replication_instance" "default" {

Terraform does not automatically rollback in the face of errors.
Instead, your Terraform state file has been partially updated with
any resources that successfully completed. Please address the error
above and apply again to incrementally change your infrastructure.

Expected Behavior

The resource creation should not timeout after 3 mins. A t2.large instance can take much longer to standup and become available. I'd suggest at least a 15 minute timeout. Multiple attempts at creating this resource has put the time to create right around the 10 mark; different instance sizes may take longer.

Actual Behavior

terraform fails. I can wait until the instance does become available and then rerun tf apply to continue the building up remaining infrastructure.

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform apply

Also of note is that the documentation says it supports the timeouts flag and default for create is 30m. I have also tried to set timeouts for create and I still see terraform bail on creating this resource after 3m and not being in the available state.

Hey @ryan-dyer-sp,

It seems related to a AWS missing status, that has been fixed.

Are you able to check using Terraform 0.10 RC1, and the v0.1.3 release for the AWS provider?

Thanks!

[ryan-dyer-sp]

If you can point me to a download location, I'd be happy to.

Here's where to get the mentioned RC version of Terraform:
https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.10.0-rc1/

We (intentionally) don't publish RCs and betas on the website as they don't have the same guarantees of stability. In other words once we reach 0.10.0 final it will be published at https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html as usual.

@radeksimko / @Ninir now that 0.10 is generally available - should this be closed?

[radeksimko]

That's right - thanks for the ping @stack72
