Replacing index_of_availability_zone with index(local.availability_zones, az) result in: The iterators name in each loop is az, I picked a shorter name than availability_zone to make it more readable. Now we will define file vpc.tf which will contain a vpc and public and private subnets. Now we define basic variables, you can add up more according to your requirement. After a bit of experimentation Ive come up with a solution which I think really works nicely. Didnt you like it? To view or add a comment, sign in, This is an informative article. You might be wondering, Why are we using local values? When building Terraform modules, it is a common requirement to want to allow the client to be able to choose which region resources are created in, and which availability zones are used. Some quick searching around on DuckDuckGo didnt yield an immediate solution to this problem, so Im sharing my findings in the hope that it will help someone else. ), File sharing between host and container (docker run -d -p -v), Linking containers and volume for datastore, Dockerfile -

When you run your Terraform code it will use your AWS profile to authenticate with AWS. 
So, you cannot hard code the number of azs per region and change the number of subnets. So you need to create different profiles according to your need. By doing so, you might end up writing a lot of lines with hardcoded network prefixes. For example in (ap-south-1)mumbai we have 3 availability zones-, So lets start creating our VPC and Subnet through terraform-, Now create tf file for variables and also using data source for availability zone -. Hopefully this solution will help others in a similar position who need to filter the raw output of a data source so that it is more easily consumed by another resource. Views expressed are my own. This is useful, but I am only interested in the ids list within these maps, and I only want one element from each. It will automatically count the azs and create subnets for you. 
These can be extracted using a local variable and a loop: This logic creates a list by iterating over each value in the map (usw1-az1 and usw1-az2) and extracting the first element ([0]) of the ids list. For example: Lets assume we must use ca-central-1 (Canada Central), and because of that, we are forced to use only two availability zones in each region. Heres how our variables.tf and vpc.tf files should look like: In issue #1, we solved the subnets per environment, but the Availability Zones (azs) were hardcoded. 
The example below performs the following: This yields a map data structure that looks like this (I have removed some of the fields for brevity): The top-level keys for this map are the availability zones being processed in the for_each (usw1-az1 and usw1-az3). Lets take a look at some of the key elements. Lets start with provider first, as it is specific to aws, we will define our provider as aws. Keep in mind that we need to do that for database and public subnets aswell.

We can assign CIDR to our VPC and Subnets, In availability zone, we provided the value from the starting index of. I recently had a Terraform use case in AWS where I needed to obtain a list of subnets from a VPC, but I only wanted one subnet per availability zone. It is best to manage variables behind the scenes without touching the infrastructures code (vpc.tf, rds.tf, s3.tf files).

Then use the variable concept. https://blog.gruntwork.io/terraform-tips-tricks-loops-if-statements-and-gotchas-f739bbae55f9. Hardcoding subnets per environment can be a significant overhead. To create a local list private_subnets with the relevant cidr_ab per environment, use the following: Reminder: To concatenate an expression and text: ${expression} my text. Heres the syntax of the lookup function: lookup(map, key, default). I would like to do it automatically not manually update. The only case where we need variables is when we want to prompt for values, for example: Always use local values; they provide the ability to use functions, unlike variables, AWS keeps adding availability zones (AZs), so the number of availability zones per region in the examples might be outdated. This makes the use of the lifecycle meta-argument necessary to ensure that changes to the list of subnets do not cause a change to the resource itself: Looping and filtering are easy concepts in most programming languages, but they are more difficult to grok when using the Terraform DSL. In solution #3 we populated subnets according to the number of availability zones, which is excellent, but this can lead to unwanted behavior when using the module terraform-aws-modules/vpc/aws. 77880/manage-multiple-regions-availability-zones-using-terraform, Hi, Web UI (Dashboard): https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/web-ui-dashboard/, How do I go from development docker-compose.yml to deployed docker-compose.yml in AWS. My next article will be about Terraform Cloud and Terraforms Workspaces. You can change your required value at run time. Set the start of the VPC CIDR as a map variable, and map each cidr_ab value to the appropriate environment. contactus@bogotobogo.com, Copyright 2020, bogotobogo NAT gateway for the private subnet and IGW for the public subnet. This solution avoids having to know in advance how many availability zones well support. This function is great, and I recommend using it. The reason is purely one of preference - I prefer to explicitly specify the CIDR blocks and use various patterns to set conventions. And replace the profilename according to your use case. 
BogoToBogo Map of AZ names to NAT Gateway IDs that are used as default routes when creating private subnets. A cluster of web servers behind a load balancer are created by the module, to demonstrate that it works. Ltd. All rights Reserved. Aws have many regions and each region have different number of availability zones and AWS is rigorously working on increasing its area by increasing number of availability zones. Did you like this tutorial? Luckily the for loop has a built-in keyword if, which still reminds me of Pythons list comprehension :), Syntax of for loop with condition: [for item in list: do_something_on(item) if expression]. I have implemented terraform template to create below AWS resources It created 3 private and 3 public subnets in each availability zone. Join Edureka Meetup community for 100+ Free Webinars each month. Bro, I'm asking about AZ updates in subnets, for instance.
