How to fix Error: error deleting Image Builder Component: ResourceDependencyException in Terraform

# This structure creates a dependency chain:
# Pipeline -> Recipe -> Component

resource "aws_imagebuilder_component" "example" {
  name    = "my-component"
  version = "1.0.0"
  # ...
}

resource "aws_imagebuilder_image_recipe" "example" {
  name            = "my-recipe"
  parent_image    = "arn:aws:imagebuilder:..."
  version         = "1.0.0"

  component_configuration {
    component_arn = aws_imagebuilder_component.example.arn  # Depends on component
  }
}

resource "aws_imagebuilder_image_pipeline" "example" {
  name                = "my-pipeline"

  image_recipe_arn = aws_imagebuilder_image_recipe.example.arn  # Depends on recipe
  # ...
}

terraform state list | grep imagebuilder
terraform state show aws_imagebuilder_image_pipeline.example

# Taint the Pipeline first (so it gets recreated)
terraform taint aws_imagebuilder_image_pipeline.example

# Then apply - the Pipeline will be destroyed and recreated
terraform apply

# After the Pipeline is recreated successfully, then taint the Recipe
terraform taint aws_imagebuilder_image_recipe.example

# Apply again
terraform apply

# Only after Recipe succeeds, taint the Component if needed
terraform taint aws_imagebuilder_component.example

# Final apply
terraform apply

# Instead of changing a property that forces replacement:

# OLD (causes replacement)
resource "aws_imagebuilder_component" "example" {
  name    = "my-component"
  version = "1.0.0"  # Don't change this
  data    = "..."    # Changing this forces replacement
}

# NEW (creates a new version)
resource "aws_imagebuilder_component" "example" {
  name    = "my-component"
  version = "1.0.1"  # Increment version instead
  data    = "..."    # Updated content
}

# Then update the Recipe to reference the new Component version:
resource "aws_imagebuilder_image_recipe" "example" {
  name            = "my-recipe"
  version         = "1.0.1"  # Increment recipe version too

  component_configuration {
    component_arn = aws_imagebuilder_component.example.arn
  }
}

# Finally, let the Pipeline update in-place
resource "aws_imagebuilder_image_pipeline" "example" {
  # The Pipeline can stay the same - it just points to the new Recipe version
  image_recipe_arn = aws_imagebuilder_image_recipe.example.arn
}

resource "aws_imagebuilder_image_recipe" "example" {
  name            = "my-recipe"
  parent_image    = "arn:aws:imagebuilder:..."
  version         = "1.0.0"

  component_configuration {
    component_arn = aws_imagebuilder_component.example.arn
  }

  # Prevent automatic updates that trigger dependency errors
  lifecycle {
    ignore_changes = [component_configuration]
  }
}

# Order: Pipeline -> Recipe -> Component

# Step 1: Delete all Pipelines first
terraform destroy -target=aws_imagebuilder_image_pipeline.example

# Step 2: After Pipeline is deleted, delete Recipes
terraform destroy -target=aws_imagebuilder_image_recipe.example

# Step 3: Finally, delete Components
terraform destroy -target=aws_imagebuilder_component.example

# Or destroy everything (should now work in correct order)
terraform destroy

resource "aws_imagebuilder_component" "example" {
  name    = "my-component"
  version = "1.0.0"
  data    = "..."

  # Skip deletion during terraform destroy
  lifecycle {
    create_before_destroy = true
  }
}

# In terraform.tf or versions.tf
terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 5.76"  # Use latest stable version
    }
  }
}

terraform init -upgrade

# Verify the new version
terraform version
