* provider/aws: Provide the option to skip_destroy on
aws_volume_attachment
When you want to attach and detach pre-existing EBS volumes to an
instance, we would do that as follows:
```
resource "aws_instance" "web" {
ami = "ami-21f78e11"
availability_zone = "us-west-2a"
instance_type = "t1.micro"
tags {
Name = "HelloWorld"
}
}
data "aws_ebs_volume" "ebs_volume" {
filter {
name = "size"
values = ["${aws_ebs_volume.example.size}"]
}
filter {
name = "availability-zone"
values = ["${aws_ebs_volume.example.availability_zone}"]
}
filter {
name = "tag:Name"
values = ["TestVolume"]
}
}
resource "aws_volume_attachment" "ebs_att" {
device_name = "/dev/sdh"
volume_id = "${data.aws_ebs_volume.ebs_volume.id}"
instance_id = "${aws_instance.web.id}"
skip_destroy = true
}
```
The issue here is that when we run a terraform destroy command, the volume tries to get detached from a running instance and goes into a non-responsive state. We would have to force_destroy the volume at that point and risk losing any data on it.
This PR introduces the idea of `skip_destroy` on a volume attachment. tl;dr:
We want the volume to be detached from the instane when the instance itself has been destroyed. This way the normal shut procedures will happen and protect the disk for attachment to another instance
