Description

Traffic Policies are groups of rules and endpoints expressed as a single document that create multiple Resource Record Sets. Traffic Policies are reusable and are attached to Hosted Zones using Traffic Policy Instances. Traffic Policies are immutable and automatically versioned.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• aws_route53_traffic_policy
• aws_route53_traffic_policy_document
• aws_route53_traffic_policy_instance

Potential Terraform Configuration

data "aws_route53_traffic_policy_document" "example" {
  record_type = "A"
  start_rule  = "site_switch"

  endpoint {
    id    = "my_elb"
    type  = "elastic-load-balancer"
    value = "elb-111111.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com"
  }

  endpoint {
    id     = "site_down_banner"
    type   = "s3-website"
    region = "us-east-1"
    value  = "www.example.com"
  }

  rule {
    id   = "site_switch"
    type = "failover"
    primary = {
      endpoint_reference = "my_elb"
    }
    secondary = {
      endpoint_reference = "site_down_banner"
    }
  }
}

resource "aws_route53_zone" "main" {
  name = "test.com"
}

resource "aws_route53_traffic_policy" "www" {
  name     = "www"
  document = "${data.aws_route53_traffic_policy_document.example.json}"
}

resource "aws_route53_traffic_policy_instance" "www_main" {
  zone_id        = "${aws_route53_zone.main.zone_id}"
  name           = "${aws_route53_traffic_policy.www.name}_${aws_route53_zone.main.name}"
  policy_id      = "${aws_route53_traffic_policy.www.id}"
  policy_version = "${aws_route53_traffic_policy.www.version}"
}

Hi. I started to work on aws_route53_traffic_policy, but cannot provide any date when will be ready (not much time I can spend on this).

Sidenote: I hit an issue with GetTrafficPolicy - it returns data even for deleted traffic policies - I asked AWS support if it's expected behavior and waiting for a reply (I know I can use ListTrafficPolicies and iterate to check but I prefer to make it clear which one should be used and why)

Do we have any updates on this? 👀 We're using a manual workaround outside of Tf as this isn't supported.
