Terraform Dynamic Blocks

Overview

• Construct repeated nested blocks
• Valid in resource, data, provider and provisioner blocks
• e.g.

resource "foo" "example" {
  #...
 
  dynamic "settings" {
    for_each = var.settings
 
    content {
      name = settings.value["name"]
 
      #...
    }
  }
}

• Can specify an iterator name—defaults to the name of the dynamic block:

resource "foo" "example" {
  #...
 
  dynamic "settings" {
    for_each = var.settings
    iterator = "bar"
 
    content {
      name = bar.value["name"]
 
      #...
    }
  }
}
