Bastion module v1.536.1 not compatible with provider aws 6.x

Hi,

When deploying, the aws provider automatically selected version 6. The bastion module uses the aws resource aws_launch_template which references argument elastic_gpu_specification which is now deprecated in aws provider version 6, but exists in version 5.

See https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/5.100.0/docs/resources/launch_template#elastic_gpu_specifications-1

This worked for us to get the bastion host component working in the ref architecture.

# components/terraform/bastion/versions.tf
terraform {
  required_version = ">= 1.0.0"

  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 5.0"
    }
    cloudinit = {
      source  = "hashicorp/cloudinit"
      version = ">= 2.2"
    }
  }
}

Hope it helps someone else.

Cheers,
Trung

Nice catch! The AWS provider version 6 had a breaking change that affected all of our components. As a result we're now upper bound pinning the aws provider version (which is essentially the same as what you did):

terraform {
  required_version = ">= 1.0.0"

  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = ">= 4.0, < 6.0.0" #<----- this line
    }
    cloudinit = {
      source  = "hashicorp/cloudinit"
      version = ">= 2.2"
    }
  }
}

However, it looks like the release failed for aws-bastion. We will get that fixed!
