arn attribute for aws_elb ?

[JoeOrtiz]

I couldn't see it, but what would be one way to expose the ARN attribute for an aws_elb resource ?

@JoeOrtiz, just opened this PR #5411 that addresses it

Hi @JoeOrtiz

Circling back on this to try and close off some older issues - what do you need to use the ELB ARN for?

[stack72]

I am going to close this off - AFAICT I can't see anywhere where the use of ARN for ELB is used. If it were the case, AWS would expose the functionality. If you have a specific usecase then let me know and we can reopen

Thanks

@stack72, Possible use case: Writing an aws_iam_user_policy or aws_iam_role_policy targeting the ELB. For example when creating a policy for dynamic ELB registration.

One could of course reference the resource like "arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:${var.aws_region}:${var.aws_account_id}:loadbalancer/${aws_elb.foo.id}", but "${aws_elb.foo.arn}" would be preferable.

@stack72 we have the same use case as @gustav-b where we would prefer to use an outputted ARN from the ELB directly instead of concatenate the id/name with other stuff.

Taking a look at things it looks like the elbv2 API exposes this but it was never exposed in the old elb API.
