Description

Please add the parameters launch_template_id (string) and update_launch_template_version (bool) in the ami_distribution_configuration block to instruct EC2 Image Builder to create a new version of the launch template that includes the latest AMI ID after the build completes. This is useful for updating an existing autoscaling group to use the new AMI.

Currently, when the resource is deployed, I have to manually go into the dashboard to set the launch template id in the distribution configuration.

New or Affected Resource(s)

aws_imagebuilder_distribution_configuration

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "aws_imagebuilder_distribution_configuration" "example" {
  name = "example"

  distribution {
    ami_distribution_configuration {
         
           launch_template_id = "lt-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
           update_launch_template_version = true

    }

    region = "us-east-1"
  }
}

Thank you! :)

You may use this to help you get started. I had to convert it to terraform for my own project and then ran into this issue. If you look closely in the template.yaml it has the following configuration which is missing in terraform:

LaunchTemplateConfigurations:
   - LaunchTemplateId: !Ref SampleLaunchTemplate
     AccountId: !Sub ${AWS::AccountId}
     SetDefaultVersion: true

I hope this gives you a better understanding.
