Description

Currently, the data resource aws_ec2_managed_prefix_list exists and refers to a single managed prefix list which you can select by filtering by prefix-list-id or prefix-list-name. I propose a new data resource be created that can select a list of managed prefix lists by owner-id, prefix-list-name with if there is a naming pattern that is already in place that would return multiple managed prefix lists, or by tag.

AWS CLI already supports getting a list of managed prefix lists with the the following command:

aws ec2 describe-managed-prefix-lists --filter Name=tag:Name,Values=values

The contents of which would be helpful in my specific use case of having existing managed prefix list already created, adding the new data resource to select several managed prefix lists based on name or tag, and then creating an aws_ram_principal_association with a for_each loop to iterate through the list to share the lists with AWS Resource Access Manager instead of having to create separate aws_ram_principal_association blocks for each.
