It's yet another semi-json format that doesn't have widespread support by any other parsers. Even Hashicorp recommends JSON if you want something that is machine readable.


I think it looks lovely :- ) having used Puppet a bit in the past. Look how simple: `inline = ["sudo apt-get -y update", ... install nginx ...` Terraform seems to be. .... hmm, apparently one can use things like Chef & Puppet etc together with Terraform, I eventually noticed.


the nice way to do this is to pass the chef role to the user data template in the autoscale group

vars { ROLE = "bastion"

Then append this to the user_data.tpl file

chef-client --audit-mode enabled -R -E ${chef_environment} -r role[${ROLE}]

Allows you to use the same user_data.tpl file for multiple autoscale groups
