Automate the creation of the attachments of FS Cloud

[lionelmace]

Today, automating the creation of one attachment requires to pass the attachment_parameters such as the following

 attachment_parameters {
    parameter_name = "cbr_endpoints_allowed_ip_list"
    parameter_display_name =  "IP allowlist for CBR"
    parameter_type =  "ip_list"
    parameter_value =  "['255.255.255.255/32']"
    assessment_type =  "automated"
    assessment_id =  "rule-b5675539-fb0a-4464-93a3-f9c3ab1da0f8"
  }

FS Cloud has 155 attachment_parameters and we need to update those automatically.

@lionelmace our attachment module doesn't ask for attachment_parameters? It asks for a profile and within our logic we do a data lookup to get the parameters.

@ocofaigh Let me share an example. In my FS Cloud attachment creation, I had to pass all the parameters.
https://github.com/lionelmace/ibm-cloud-native/blob/main/terraform/security-scc-scan-fscloud.tf

How do you do the lookup for those parameters?

@lionelmace Why not use our attachment module to do this. Your using the provider directly here. If you use our module, you only need to pass profile details and it will add the required attachement parameters.

If you wan't to continue to use provider directly, you can take same approach as we do in the module (here), and do a data lookup to fetch the attachment parameters

Fantastic! The attachment module is what I was looking for. Thanks @ocofaigh
