Description

aws_ami data source requires owners argument. Buf if image-id is known, it should be query without owners.

Motivation

aws_imagebuilder_image data source can query latest ami. It returns image and account_id. But sometimes account_id is empty. Or AMI public parameters can get image-id only.

Then aws_imagebuilder_image_recipe resource can set ebs parameters. When specify root volume, device_name is required. But root's device_name is not fixed, and it depends on ami. It can query only aws_ami data source.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• aws_ami (data source)
• aws_ami_by_id (data source)

Potential Terraform Configuration

data "aws_ami" "parent" {
  owners = null
  filter {
    name   = "image-id"
    values = ["ami-XXX"]
  }
}

# or simply,

data "aws_ami_by_id" "parent" {
  image_id = "ami-XXX"
}

References

• Calling AMI public parameters
• Device names on Linux instances
