Terraform CLI and Terraform IBM Provider Version

Terraform v1.0.4 - IBM Cloud version 1.29.0

Affected Resource(s)

• ibm_is_snapshot

Terraform Configuration Files

Reference:
https://registry.terraform.io/providers/IBM-Cloud/ibm/latest/docs/resources/is_snapshot

Basic Snapshot Create:
resource "ibm_is_snapshot" "testacc_snapshot" {
name = "testsnapshot"
source_volume = ibm_is_instance.testacc_instance.volume_attachments[0].volume_id
}

Debug Output

Error: timeout while waiting for state to become 'stable, failed' (last state: 'pending', timeout: 10m0s)

Expected Behavior

Snapshot create process should be able to monitor during length of creation.

Other modules allow you to edit the default timeouts for create/update/delete but this one has not yet implemented.

Actual Behavior

Disks with a large amount of data to sync which take more than 10 minutes to complete are unable to exceed the default 10 minute timeout.

Steps to Reproduce

Create disk with large amount of data, take snapshot with:

1. terraform apply

@DanielFarrarCO

Snapshot do support timeouts, please use the timeouts attribute as done in other resources.

  timeouts {
    create = "15m"
    delete = "15m"
  }

Added a documentation update

[DanielFarrarCO]

Thanks for the documentation update! I'll pass this along to the Ansible team so that timeouts can be added to the Ansible modules as well.
