AWS Config Set Retention

[tbo-246]

Current Terraform Version

v0.12.24

Use-cases

It is now possible to set the retention policy in days for the AWS Config Service. This is a good way of keeping costs down and there is not currently a way to configure this with Terraform.

Attempted Solutions

I have checked all arguments in the resource config resources and none have a retention period setting. I purposefully set this option in the AWS console hoping for Terraform to detect code drift and give me a clue where the setting might be however the setting was ignored.

Proposal

Introduce an argument in the aws_config_configuration_recorder resource called "retention_period". It might look something like:

resource "aws_config_configuration_recorder" "example" {
  name     = "example"
  role_arn = aws_iam_role.config.arn
  retention_period = 365
  recording_group {
    all_supported = true
    include_global_resource_types = true
  }
}
