Description

I'm using the new aws_budgets_budget resource, and am trying to set up notifications around it. This resource would support that use case.

I'm interested in implementing this, but would love feedback first.

New or Affected Resource(s)

• aws_budgets_notification

Potential Terraform Configuration

data "aws_caller_identity" "current" {}

resource "aws_budgets_budget" "budget" {
  # ...
}

resource "aws_sns_topic" "team" {
  # ...
}

# OPTION 1

resource "aws_budgets_notification" "high_spending" {
  account_id = "${data.aws_caller_identity.current.account_id}"
  budget_name = "${aws_budgets_budget.budget.name}"

  notification_type = "ACTUAL"
  comparison_operator = "GREATER_THAN"
  threshold = "80"
  threshold_type = "PERCENTAGE"

  subscription_type = "SNS"
  subscription_address = "${aws_sns_topic.team.arn}"
}

# OPTION 2

resource "aws_budgets_notification" "high_spending" {
  account_id = "${data.aws_caller_identity.current.account_id}"
  budget_name = "${aws_budgets_budget.budget.name}"

  notification_type = "ACTUAL"
  comparison_operator = "GREATER_THAN"
  threshold = "80"
  threshold_type = "PERCENTAGE"

  subscription {
    type = "SNS"
    address = "${aws_sns_topic.team.arn}"
  }
}

Disclaimers

The subscription configuration needs to be included in the aws_budgets_notification resource configuration because they are (strangely) required when creating notifications, even though there are API actions to add and remove them.

Option 1 is presumably simpler to implement (in terms of parsing, state management, etc.), but Option 2 gives the option for supporting multiple subscription blocks.

The account ID is required when creating a notification through the API, but it's not an option in the Console. It's unclear when that would/could be a value other than the "effective account ID".

Please support both SNS and email notification options

Option 2 is better, as it matches what the underlying API can do.

I opened a PR (#4523) a while back that's not merged yet, maybe add a 👍 over there if you are interested in this feature

Was this ever added?

Support for notification configuration blocks in the aws_budgets_budget resource has been merged and will release with version 2.5.0 of the Terraform AWS Provider, later this week. Thanks, @flosell!
