+  Provides an AWS App Mesh virtual router resource.
+---
+
+# aws_appmesh_virtual_router
+
+Provides an AWS App Mesh virtual router resource.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```hcl
+resource "aws_appmesh_virtual_router" "serviceb" {
+  name          = "serviceB"
+  mesh_name     = "simpleapp"
+
+  spec {
+    service_names = ["serviceb.simpleapp.local"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Argument Reference
+
+The following arguments are supported:
+
+* `name` - (Required) The name to use for the virtual router.
+* `mesh_name` - (Required) The name of the service mesh in which to create the virtual router.
+* `spec` - (Required) The virtual router specification to apply.
+
+The `spec` object supports the following:
+
+* `service_names` - (Required) The service mesh service names to associate with the virtual router.
+
+## Attributes Reference
+
+In addition to all arguments above, the following attributes are exported:
+
+* `id` - The ID of the virtual router.
+* `arn` - The ARN of the virtual router.
+* `created_date` - The creation date of the service mesh.
+* `last_updated_date` - The last update date of the service mesh.
