Q: Workaround for computed resource output as shared key? #65

Closed naseemkullah closed 2 years ago

naseemkullah commented 2 years ago

it cannot use a computed resource output (e.g. random_password.my_shared_key.result) as input for the shared key

Is this an anti-pattern or should the module be able to support that?

naseemkullah commented 2 years ago

It probably makes sense to always store any computed resource ouput password as a secret outside of terraform and then use a data source.

There is a long-standing issue in Terraform - https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/4149 - which means that users need to create such resources in advance using -target and then run terraform apply to create the rest of resources.
