Data Source: aws_vpcs

This resource can be useful for getting back a list of VPC Ids for a region.

The following example retrieves a list of VPC Ids with a custom tag of service set to a value of "production".

Example Usage

The following shows outputing all VPC Ids.

data "aws_vpcs" "foo" {
  tags {
    service = "production"
  }
}

output "foo" {
  value = "${data.aws_vpcs.foo.ids}"
}

An example use case would be interpolate the aws_vpcs output into count of an aws_flow_log resource.

data "aws_vpcs" "foo" {}

resource "aws_flow_log" "test_flow_log" {
  count = "${length(data.aws_vpcs.foo.ids)}"
  ...
  vpc_id = "${element(data.aws_vpcs.foo.ids, count.index)}"
  ...
}

output "foo" {
  value = "${data.aws_vpcs.foo.ids}"
}

Argument Reference

• tags - (Optional) A mapping of tags, each pair of which must exactly match a pair on the desired vpcs.

More complex filters can be expressed using one or more filter sub-blocks, which take the following arguments:

• name - (Required) The name of the field to filter by, as defined by the underlying AWS API.

• values - (Required) Set of values that are accepted for the given field. A VPC will be selected if any one of the given values matches.
