ibm_is_vpc_default_routing_table and ibm_is_vpc_default_routing_table differences

[powellquiring]

The are two different ways to get at a routing table. But the attributes are different. Below is the focus on the attributes that interested me, but all of the attributes should be examined.

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/IBM-Cloud/ibm/latest/docs/resources/is_vpc_routing_table

Attribute reference

• id - (String) The routing table ID. The ID is composed of <vpc_id>/<vpc_route_table_id> of the VPC route.
• routing_table - (String) The generated routing table ID.

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/IBM-Cloud/ibm/latest/docs/data-sources/is_vpc_default_routing_table

• default_routing_table - (String) The unique identifier for the default routing table.

• id - (String) The unique ID for the default routing table.

• Are the resources really as different as they seem

• what is the diff between ibm_is_vpc_default_routing_table.id and ibm_is_vpc_default_routing_table.default_routing_table

• what is the diff between the ibm_is_vpc_default_routing_table.id and is_vpc_routing_table.id

Expected: The attribute reference section of these resources to be almost identical
Actual: differences.

I'll take a look

Are the resources really as different as they seem

First one(https://registry.terraform.io/providers/IBM-Cloud/ibm/latest/docs/resources/is_vpc_routing_table) is a resource, second one(https://registry.terraform.io/providers/IBM-Cloud/ibm/latest/docs/data-sources/is_vpc_default_routing_table) is a datasource.

what is the diff between ibm_is_vpc_default_routing_table.id and ibm_is_vpc_default_routing_table.default_routing_table

the id generated for a connected resource is usually a combination, so <vpc_id>/<vpc_route_table_id> is the id wrt to the resource, used for importing the resource.

what is the diff between the ibm_is_vpc_default_routing_table.id and is_vpc_routing_table.id

One is the id of the default Routing table of the vpc (data source) and one is the terraform generated id of the resource to keep the import easier.

I'm not convinced that the two resources should be different. They are both routing tables.

Either way the documentation for these needs to be improved. I should be able to read the docs and figure out the attributes. These descriptions are the same, right:

• default_routing_table - (String) The unique identifier for the default routing table.
• id - (String) The unique ID for the default routing table.

@powellquiring these two default_routing_table and id here (https://registry.terraform.io/providers/IBM-Cloud/ibm/latest/docs/data-sources/is_vpc_default_routing_table) are the same.

@powellquiring , Are we good to close?
Thanks.
