How to copy-past block into content of dynamic block

2022-01-19 16:33 aaa imported from Stackoverflow

For a list

locals{
    x = [ {  yyy = { a=1 } }, {  yyy = { b=2 }  }   ]
}

I want to "copy-past" block yyy into content{} section of a dynamic block

   dynamic "test" {
      for_each = local.x
      content {
         zzz {x.yyy}
      }
   }

So the result should be

test{
  zzz {a=1}
}

test{
  zzz {b=2}
}

Is it possible without manually coping each field:

  content {
     zzz {
        a=ifnotnull(x.yyy.a)  
        b=ifnotnull(x.yyy.b)  
     }
  }

You'll need another dynamic for the inner block.

But you must specify the attributes (the names) in the block. So assuming the possible attributes in the zzz block are a and b, something like this should work:
```
dynamic "test" {
  for_each = local.x

  content {
    dynamic "zzz" {
      for_each = [test.value.yyy]

      content {
        a = lookup(zzz.value, "a", null)
        b = lookup(zzz.value, "b", null)
      }
    }
  }
}
```
Note that the yyy map is not needed, so if you control the structure of the input data, it could be just x = [ { a=1 }, { b=2 } ], and the inner iterator for_each = [test.value].

Context root redirect for AWS Application Load Balancer using terraform
I have an AWS ALB that I need to add a context-root redirect but I can not figure out the syntax in Terraform.

I want this url to automatically go to this url. I know it gets added to the https listener rule, but I just do not know how to syntactically write it

example.com --> example.com/mycode

This current iteration of code complains with But I do not even know if this syntax is correct:
```
Error: Unsupported argument

  on main.tf line 133, in module "alb":
 133:   conditions = [{

An argument named "conditions" is not expected here.
```
terraform plan operation failed this is the code I have:
```
 https_listener_rules =  [
      {
       action_type  = "redirect"
       redirect = {
       host         = "example.com"
       path         = "/mycode"
       port         = 443
       protocol     = "HTTPS"
       status_code  = "HTTP_302"
    }
   }
  ]

  conditions = [{
           path_patterns = ["/"]
          }]
```

(Terraform) Error 400: Invalid request: instance name (pg_instance)., invalid

On GCP, I'm trying to create a Cloud SQL instance with this Terraform code below:

resource "google_sql_database_instance" "postgres" {
    name                = "pg_instance"
    database_version    = "POSTGRES_13"
    region              = "asia-northeast1"
    deletion_protection = false

    settings {
        tier      = "db-f1-micro"
        disk_size = 10
    }
}

resource "google_sql_user" "users" {
    name     = "postgres"
    instance = google_sql_database_instance.postgres.name
    password = "admin"
}

But I got this error:

Error: Error, failed to create instance pg_instance: googleapi: Error 400: Invalid request: instance name (pg_instance)., invalid

Are there any mistakes for my Terraform code?

How does Kubernetes and Terraform work seamlessly together and what role do they each undertake?
I am a bit confused about the individual roles of Kubernetes and Terraform when using them both on a project.

Until very recently, I had a very clear understanding of both their purposes and everything made sense to me. But, then I heard in one of Nana's videos on Terraform, that Terraform was also very advanced in orchestration and I got confused.

Here's my current understanding of both these tools:
- Kubernetes: Orchestration software that controls many docker containers working together seamlessly. Kubernetes makes sure that new containers are deployed based on the desired infrastructure defined in configuration files (written with the help of a tool like Terraform, as IaC).
- Terraform: Tool for provisioning, configuring, and managing infrastructure as IaC.
So, when we say that Terraform is a good tool for orchestration, do we mean that it's a good tool for orchestrating infrastructure states or docker containers as well?

I hope someone can clear that out for me!
