Terraform CLI and Terraform AWS Provider Version

terraform --version
Terraform v1.0.6
on linux_amd64
+ provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws v3.66.0

Affected Resource(s)

• aws_efs_file_system

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "aws_efs_file_system" "my_efs" {
  performance_mode = "generalPurpose"
  throughput_mode  = "bursting"
  encrypted        = "true"

  lifecycle {
    prevent_destroy = true
  }

  lifecycle_policy {
    transition_to_ia                    = "AFTER_30_DAYS"
    transition_to_primary_storage_class = "AFTER_1_ACCESS"
  }

  tags = {
    Name = "my-efs"
  }
}

Expected Behavior

I had an existing Terraform AWS EFS volume without a lifecycle_policy. I subsequently added the lifecycle_policy as noted above.

It is expected that the lifecycle_policy with both the transition_to_ia and transition_to_primary_storage_class would be set to their respective values.

Actual Behavior

I received the following error:

aws_efs_file_system.my_efs: Modifying... [id=fs-063483dac5b7b61af]

│ Error: error updating EFS file system (fs-xxx) lifecycle configuration: BadRequest: One or more LifecyclePolicy objects specified are malformed.
│ {
│   RespMetadata: {
│     StatusCode: 400,
│     RequestID: "9afe1f37-5a77-4988-9ab8-dfca9eeef7dd"
│   },
│   ErrorCode: "BadRequest",
│   Message_: "One or more LifecyclePolicy objects specified are malformed."
│ }
│ 
│   with aws_efs_file_system.my_efs,
│   on efs.tf line 1, in resource "aws_efs_file_system" "my_efs":
│    1: resource "aws_efs_file_system" "my_efs" {
│ 

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform plan -out my.plan
2. terraform apply my.plan

Important Factoids

The lifecycle_policy works fine with just one of the values:

  lifecycle_policy {
    transition_to_ia                    = "AFTER_30_DAYS"
  }

or

  lifecycle_policy {
    transition_to_primary_storage_class = "AFTER_1_ACCESS"
  }

but never both in the same block.

I've also tried applying with just one (the transition_to_ia) and then adding the second (transition_to_primary_storage_class) with a second apply, but I get the same error message.

What does work but is unclear from the documentation:

  lifecycle_policy {
    transition_to_ia                    = "AFTER_30_DAYS"
  }

  lifecycle_policy {
    transition_to_primary_storage_class = "AFTER_1_ACCESS"
  }

Same issue with provider hashicorp/aws v3.61.0.

This worked for me, as a workaround:

  lifecycle_policy {
    transition_to_ia                    = "AFTER_14_DAYS"
  }

  lifecycle_policy {
    # https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/issues/21862
    transition_to_primary_storage_class = "AFTER_1_ACCESS"
  }
