Description

Plural datasources are datasources that call the list endpoint of a resource and return a set of resources. They're most often used for filtering a subset of resources within a project such as those with a certain enum set.

Team thoughts:

• This should be done on an opt-in basis.
• Filtering differs between APIs. We either need custom support (preferred) or to do it clientside.
• Ideally, the resources should be returned in a stable order

New or Affected Resource(s)

• google_service_resources, eg:
  • google_compute_addresses
  • google_sql_database_instances

Potential Terraform Configuration

data "google_compute_global_addresses" "nat" {
  filter = "purpose=NAT_AUTO AND users:(/${google_compute_router.router.name})"
}
