Hi @ewbankkit, myself and @omarimcblack have started working on this at the moment and have transit gateway peering attachments working.

We're now going to write the tests & the accepter for it.

We'll reference the fork/commits here shortly

Nice work guys!
We're looking to use this in our environment.

Do you know when it's likely to be released?

@james1miller93 you can track https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws/pull/11162 and https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws/pull/11185 for status

Hi,
Really need this feature :+1:
good work

[skalragg]

Hi @bflad
Really appreciate that these features are being looked at, is there any estimated timeline when this will be released. I checked #11162 + #11185 and I can see its been added to milestone v2.60.0.
Thanks

[bflad]

Support for the new aws_ec2_transit_gateway_peering_attachment resource and data source has been merged, which will release with version 2.60.0 of the Terraform AWS Provider, likely later today. Thanks to @Omarimcblack and @j-nix for the implementation there. 👍 Subscribe to #11162 to receive an automated notification when the release is made.

Since there is more work to be done to support the aws_ec2_transit_gateway_peering_attachment_accepter resource (#11185), we cannot provide an exact estimate for its release, but it should be in the next week or two.

Support for the aws_ec2_transit_gateway_peering_attachment_accepter resource has been merged and will release shortly with version 2.61.0 of the Terraform AWS Provider. 🎉

Huge shout out to @Omarimcblack and @j-nix for all their hard work!
