Dynamic AMI Lookup in Crossplane AWS Provider

Thanks for considering this feature request! If you need more details, I'm happy to help.

@ehsan-hedayatpour I believe you can use the Terraform provider to achieve your goal. I’m looking for a similar solution.

provider-terraform is definitely an option, and you could also use a Composition Function to retrieve the data for you.
