Hello!
Read through this similar issue, and still can’t figure out what I am doing wrong thus would appreciate feedback.
contents of provider.tf:
terraform {
required_version = "1.0.4"
required_providers {
aws = {
source = "hashicorp/aws"
version = "3.53.0"
}
}
}
provider "aws" {
alias = "main"
profile = var.main_account_profile
region = var.main_account_region
shared_credentials_file = "${pathexpand("~/.aws/credentials")}"
}
provider "aws" {
alias = "identities"
profile = var.identities_account_profile
region = var.identities_account_region
shared_credentials_file = "${pathexpand("~/.aws/credentials")}"
}
According to the information in the linked discussion and online doc, I don’t understand why running terraform init results in terraform looking for a provider “alias”?
Result of terraform init:
☹ terraform init ruby-2.6.3 development af0710f ✗
