[Enhancement]: dms - enable replication task movement to new instance

[misterjacko]

Description

Currently modifications of the replication_instance_arn attribute of a dms.replication_task results in a destroy and recreate. This is preventing my org from using Terraform for a particular project's infrastructure.

The inability to modify the instance ARN is not a limitation of AWS's Go SDK as it has a moveReplicationTask operation that can be leveraged to migrate stopped replication tasks to a different DMS instance.

Affected Resource(s) and/or Data Source(s)

aws_dms_replication_task

Potential Terraform Configuration

configuration would not change, just would not ForceNew upon a change to the replication_instance_arn and use the MoveReplicationTask call to move it.

References

aws sdk dms.moveReplicationTask

Would you like to implement a fix?

Yes
