Issues with Iam_role creation

Terraform Providers AWS

resource "aws_iam_role" "ec2_iam_role" {
  name = "EC2-IAM-Role"
  assume_role_policy = <<EOF
{
  "Version": "2023-01-09",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "Service": ["ec2.amazonaws.com",application-autoscaling.amazonaws.com"]
      },
      "Action": "sts:AssumeRole"
    }
  ]  
}
EOF
}

I am getting the following error :

Error: "assume_role_policy" contains an invalid JSON: invalid character 'a' looking for beginning of value
│ 
│   with aws_iam_role.ec2_iam_role,

Hi nazeek786!

I believe it may be because you’re missing an opening quote in your line 104, before application.

Best of luck!
