Discussion on: 👷 How to make conditionnal resources in terraform?

[Warlock Orca]

You can do something like:

resource "aws_lambda_function" "my_lambda" {
  filename = "lambda.jar"
  function_name = "${local.my_function_name}"
  handler = "${var.lambda_type == "java" ? "Handler" : "index.handler"}"
  runtime = "${var.lambda_type == "java" ? "java8" : "nodejs10.x"}"
}

and no need to create 2 resources, and data to refer the one that got created.

I havn't tested your suggestion but it seems to be a great solution ! I'll definitvly test that next time !

Thanks for your comment.
