Input design​

Timestamps​

Terraform has reliable support for RFC3339 2020-02-12T06:36:13Z in order to decrease complexity this will be the only supported timestamp format.

Input variable​

In order to allow the user to easily specify the start, end and a resource id a simple Terraform object variable can be made to fit most use cases.

variable "time_resource" {
  description = "A map containing time limited resources."
  type        = map(
    object({
      start = string
      end   = string
    })
  )
  default = {}
}

Logic​

Utilizing the time_rotating resource is key to making this work, unlike the timestamp() it can be determined during the terraform plan stage.
