Terraform CLI and Terraform AWS Provider Version

Terraform v1.2.6
on darwin_amd64

Affected Resource(s)

• aws_lightsail_database

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "aws_lightsail_database" "this" {
  relational_database_name     = "lightsail"
  availability_zone            = "eu-west-1a"
  master_database_name         = "foo"
  master_username              = "bar"
  master_password              = "baz123$$$"
  blueprint_id                 = "mysql_8_0"
  bundle_id                    = "small_ha_1_0"
}

Debug Output

If I change to another instance type without HA, like small_1_0 it deploys correctly. If I change back the bundle_id to small_ha_1_0, it breaks with the following error (see bellow).

Expected Behavior

Being able to create the HA Lightsail Database.

Actual Behavior

Breaks because aws_lightsail_database mandates the presence of availability_zone parameter, which receives a string and can't receive a list to handle more than one AZ.

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform apply

Important Factoids

None.

None.

Hi @include,

I took a closer look into this issue and it is not allowed to specify availability_zone when using HA bundle_ids. However, currently availability_zone is a required parameter. I created a PR to change this to optional.
