Description

Hi, I currently have a python script that retrieves the on-demand price of an ec2 instance with the pricing api that I'd like to use in a terraform context (setting a spot_price that is a fraction of on-demand). It has the following parameters: instance_type string, region string, os string (linux or windows). Would this be an appropriate feature for terraform? I'd implement it myself.

Potential Terraform Configuration

data "aws_pricing_ec2_instance" "launch_config_1" {
  region = "us-east-1"
  instance_type = "c5.large"
  os = "LINUX"
}
resource "aws_launch_configuration" "launch_config_1" {
  name_prefix          = "Cluster"
  image_id             = "..."
  instance_type        = "c5.large"
  spot_price           = "${data.aws_pricing_instance.launch_config_1.hourly * 0.5}"
