Description

The service finder package convention can help smooth over differences between service APIs and simplify resource implementations. This could be further enhanced by potentially converting AWS SDK errors or missing objects into Terraform Plugin SDK or Terraform Provider AWS specific errors.

There are some things to consider here, which should be investigated:

• Potential updates to existing resource logic that uses these finder functions
• Potential updates to existing acceptance testing logic that uses these finder functions
• Potential updates to existing waiters that use these finder functions
• How this will be documented
• How this will be rolled out
