Terraform Escape Single Quotes

terraform

I am trying to escape single quotes in my terraform script and inventory file.

Terraform script line:

list_compute= "${join("\n",formatlist("%s openshift_node_labels="{'region': 'primary', 'zone': 'east'}"", "${module.compute.ops_compute_names}"))}"

How do I preserve/escape the single quote around region, primary, zone and east?

Also my template file which is used for rendering:

openshift_master_identity_providers=[{'name': 'htpasswd_auth', 'login': 'true', 'challenge': 'true', 'kind': 'HTPasswdPasswordIdentityProvider', 'filename': '/etc/origin/master/htpasswd'}]

How do I preserve/escape the single quotes.

This should work

join("\n",formatlist("%s openshift_node_labels={'region': 'primary', 'zone': 'east'}", "${module.compute.ops_compute_names}"))

As long as ops_compute_names is a list

Terraform parallel VM creation

You need to start all your VMs within one vsphere_virtual_machine resource using count statement. Count starts from 0.

It should be like:

variable "vm_count" = 2

resource "vsphere_virtual_machine" "dum" {
  name          = "dum${format("%02d", count.index+3)}"
  hostname      = "dumHN${count.index+1}"
  count         = "${var.vm_count}"
  folder        = "Ansible VM"
  vcpu          = 2
  memory        = 4096
  domain        = "MYDOMAIN"
  datacenter    = "myDatacenter"
  cluster       = "NET-TEST"

  network_interface {
    label              = "NET-TEST"
    ipv4_address       = "10.20.30.${40 + count.index * 5)}"
    ipv4_prefix_length = "24"
    ipv4_gateway       = "10.20.30.254"
  }
  disk {
    datastore = "datastore"
    template  = "mytemplate"
  }
}

Terraform dynamic variable

I think an output map is the right approach. I'm not sure what went wrong when you tried it, but try something like:

output "subnets_map" {
  dev = "${aws_subnet.subnet_aza_dev.id}"
  test = "${aws_subnet.subnet_aza_test.id}"
}

Then

subnet_id = "${data.terraform_remote_state.env_shared.subnets_map[var.environment]}"

BTW I think it's better to use underscores rather than hyphens in HCL
