Description

Adds a new beta Terraform action aws_events_put_events that imperatively sends one or more custom EventBridge events during an apply lifecycle via config { entry { ... } } blocks. It supports multiple event entries, optional custom event buses, RFC3339 time, resources ARNs. Acceptance tests were strengthened to verify real delivery by wiring an EventBridge rule and SQS target (with ordering enforced via depends_on) instead of only asserting bus existence. Documentation includes a technical preview note (breaking changes still possible) and examples for basic, multi‑entry, custom bus, and deployment triggers. The action acceptance tests are gated to Terraform ≥ 1.14 and uses the RFC3339 custom time type to avoid type conversion warnings.

action "aws_events_put_events" "example" {
  config {
    entry {
      source      = "mycompany.myapp"
      detail_type = "User Action"
      detail = jsonencode({
        user_id = "12345"
        action  = "login"
      })
    }
  }
}
