Not a valid region: ap-south-1 <- Any ways around this, new Indian region.

TF 0.6.16

I asked this a couple days back, but I will try again. Does anyone know of a way to specify the IAM Role for an EC2 instance when creating it? I did not see an option for this.

yes

resource "aws_instance" "a" {

....

iam_instance_profile = "xxx"

...

}

t0m: Thanks!!

hey guys

I'm trying to understand one weird thing that is happening to me

I'm using remote state files and store them on s3

usually I'm the only one changing things with terraform

but from time to time, other guys are also using it

and when they are using it, looks like when they run a terraform plan

they are updating the remote state file

I was expecting that the remote state file would be only updated when we run a terraform apply

I understand that terraform is doing a refresh to try to get the latest updates from the infrastructure

but should it update a remote state?

also, the problem that we're facing is related with a 3rd party plugin (spotinst)

in the past, we had that plugin configured

so, some people still have a local cache of the state file with some mentions to that plugin

but now the .tf files don't have any mention for that

so, we got an error saying that the credentials aren't available

the problem is that terraform plan command is uploading that bronken state file to s3

so, everyone gets that broken file after that

can you try to help me understanding what is happening?
