Creating Terraform Resources in Multiple Regions example

It is configured to generates resources in multiple locations

Prerequisite

You need to have Terraform CLI >= 0.12 installed on you workstation.

How to use the repo

• Clone this repo locally to a folder of your choice

git clone https://github.com/peterchiviyski/multiple-resource.git

Declare a provider for the alternate region. You’ll now have two providers. The original one for your primary region, and the new one for your alternate.

Give the new provider an alias.

Declare resources that reference the new alias in their provider attribute with the format aws.[alias]. This also works for data sources, which is handy for dynamically interpolating region names into resource properties like their name.
