Description

Data sources exist for most resource types, but not for a aws_cloudfront_distribution.

My use case is that I create a aws_cloudfront_distribution in one environment and want to create CNAMEs at an other environment (each environment has its own set of terraform files and state file).

New or Affected Resource(s)

• aws_cloudfront_distribution (data source)

Potential Terraform Configuration

It would be useful to reference a data source by tags.

References

• none

I would probably add that a data source for aws_cloudfront_origin_access_identity would be great too.

datasource for aws_cloudfront_origin_access_identity is also useful to reference in a s3 bucket policy

Can we get an ETA for these changes by chance, not sure how releases work here?

I have a PR open here https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws/pull/6468. Its pretty old now and has gone stale. I'll see if I can update it.

Support for a new aws_cloudfront_distribution data source has been merged and will release later this week with version 2.57.0 of the Terraform AWS Provider. Thanks to @dpetzold for the implementation. 👍

For further enhancements to this data source or requests for new data sources, please create new, individual feature requests.
