type = “ssh”  
host = “10.128.0.38”

#private = file("/home/omer\_mohiuddin/vm-manager/modules/id\_rsa")  
}  
provisioner “local-exec” {  
command = \<\<-EOF  
#!/bin/sh  
gcloud compute os-config os-policy-assignments create osii-policy  
–location=us-central1-a --file=/home/omer\_mohiuddin/con.yaml
