Hello, would just like to see if there is a possibility to be able to call the aws_eip resource within this module. It seems that it can only be done via the aws_instance resource. Could this be possible?

Hi @Alexander-Giaquinto !

You need to create aws_eip resource outside of this module and assign it to an instance ID returned from the module:

module "ec2_instance" {
  source  = "terraform-aws-modules/ec2-instance/aws"
  version = "~> 3.0"

  # ... omitted
}

resource "aws_eip" "this" {
  vpc = true

  instance = module.ec2_instance.id
}

It is unlikely that we implement EIP support as a part of this module.

Hey @antonbabenko ! Yes! I figured this out yesterday just moments after submitting the issue. But thank you for the reassurance!!! Appreciate the help! Makes sense, no need to import EIP within the module directly!
