Cannot create and immediately activate an empty shared edge redirector cloudlet

[siwinski]

When creating an empty shared edge redirector cloudlet, the cloudlet itself is created (can be seen via Control Center, not via Terraform output) but a version is not created which causes immediate activations to fail.

When manually creating a shared edge redirector cloudlet via Control Center, a version is created.

Hello @siwinski ,

thank you for reporting this issue.
Unfortunately API behavior is the same as terraform. For the time being you need to provide valid match_rules to create policy version. You can extend your data and provide your values for redirect_url and status_code.

data "akamai_cloudlets_edge_redirector_match_rule" "default" {
  match_rules {
    redirect_url = ""
    status_code  = 302
  }
}

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
Pawel
