You may use any of the built-in functions in your template.

### Using Templates with Count
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example that combines the capabilities of templates with the interpolation
|
||||
from `count` to give us a parametized template, unique to each resource instance:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
variable "count" {
|
||||
default = 2
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
variable "hostnames" {
|
||||
default = {
|
||||
"0" = "example1.org"
|
||||
"1" = "example2.net"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
resource "template_file" "web_init" {
|
||||
// here we expand multiple template_files - the same number as we have instances
|
||||
count = "${var.count}"
|
||||
filename = "templates/web_init.tpl"
|
||||
vars {
|
||||
// that gives us access to use count.index to do the lookup
|
||||
hostname = "${lookup(var.hostnames, count.index)}"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
resource "aws_instance" "web" {
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
count = "${var.count}"
|
||||
// here we link each web instance to the proper template_file
|
||||
user_data = "${element(template_file.web_init.*.rendered, count.index)}"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
With this, we will build a list of `template_file.web_init` resources which we can
|
||||
use in combination with our list of `aws_instance.web` resources.
