+    Provides a list of subnet Ids for a VPC
+---
+
+# aws\_subnet\_ids
+
+`aws_subnet_ids` provides a list of ids for a vpc_id
+
+This resource can be useful for getting back a list of subnet ids for a vpc.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+The following shows outputing all cidr blocks for every subnet id in a vpc.
+
+```
+data "aws_subnet_ids" "example" {
+  vpc_id = "${var.vpc_id}"
+}
+
+data "aws_subnet" "example" {
+  count = "${length(data.aws_subnet_ids.example.ids)}"
+  id = "${aws_subnet_ids.example.ids[count.index]}"
+}
+
+output "subnet_cidr_blocks" {
+  value = ["${data.aws_subnet.example.*.cidr_block}"]
+}
+```
+
+## Argument Reference
+
+* `vpc_id` - (Required) The VPC ID that you want to filter from.
+
+## Attributes Reference
+
+* `ids` - Is a list of all the subnet ids found. If none found. This data source will fail out.
