Terraform: Creation of multiple aws_elb randomly timeout

[ChristopheSchmitz]

Hi there,

Thank you for opening an issue. Please note that we try to keep the Terraform issue tracker reserved for bug reports and feature requests. For general usage questions, please see: https://www.terraform.io/community.html.

Terraform Version

0.8.7

Affected Resource(s)

aws_elb

If this issue appears to affect multiple resources, it may be an issue with Terraform's core, so please mention this.

Terraform Configuration Files

I have the following in a module. I am calling about 16 time the module. The likelihood and number of timeout error message increase with the number of time I call the module.

resource aws_elb test {
  name = "${var.name}"
  internal = true
  subnets = ["${var.subnet_list}"]
  cross_zone_load_balancing = true
  //security_groups = [] // FIXME
  listener {
    instance_port = 8080
    instance_protocol = "http"
    lb_port = 80
    lb_protocol = "http"
  }
}

Expected Behavior

All the elb should be created

Actual Behavior

If I try to create too many elb by the call of my module, I start to get some timeout.

* aws_elb.test: Failure adding ELB subnets: timeout while waiting for state to become 'success' (timeout: 1m0s)
* aws_elb.test: Failure adding ELB subnets: timeout while waiting for state to become 'success' (timeout: 1m0s)
* aws_elb.test: Failure adding ELB subnets: timeout while waiting for state to become 'success' (timeout: 1m0s)

Steps to Reproduce

Please list the steps required to reproduce the issue, for example:

1. terraform apply

Important Factoids

Maybe there is a way to increase the timeout?
