[Enhancement]: aws_config_config_rule add Support for Evaluation Modes

[kneekeel]

Description

The current aws_config_config_rule resource does not support the configuration of an AWS Config Rule's Evaluation Mode. By default, AWS sets the Evaluation Mode to DETECTIVE.

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

• aws_config_config_rule

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "aws_config_config_rule" "example" {
  depends_on = [aws_lambda_permission.example]

  name             = "example"
  description      = "add evaluation_modes to resource attributes"
  input_parameters = jsonencode({})

  scope {
    compliance_resource_types = ["AWS::EC2::Instance"]
  }

  source {
    owner             = "CUSTOM_LAMBDA"
    source_identifier = aws_lambda_function.example.arn
    source_detail {
      event_source = "aws.config"
      message_type = "ConfigurationItemChangeNotification"
    }
    source_detail {
      event_source = "aws.config"
      message_type = "OversizedConfigurationItemChangeNotification"
    }
  }

  evaluation_modes = [
    "DETECTIVE",
    "PROACTIVE"
  ]
}
