I am having trouble referencing an output from a module in another module. The resources in the first module was deployed using for_each. The resources in the second module is trying to reference the resources from first module
There are 2 modules created
- Security Group
- VM
The intention is to assign the Security Group to the VM
The following is the module for the Security Group
variable "configserver" {
type = map(object({
name = string
location = string
subnet = string
availability_zone = string
vm_size = string
hdd_size = string
}))
}
module "configserver_nsg" {
for_each = var.configserver
source = "../../../terraform/modules/azure-network-security-group"
resource_group_name = var.resource_group_name
tags = var.tags
location = each.value.location
nsg_name = "${each.value.name}-nsg"
security_rules = [
{
name = "Office",
priority = "100"
direction = "Inbound"
access = "Allow"
protocol = "TCP"
source_port_range = "*"
destination_port_ranges = [
"22"]
source_address_prefix = "192.168.1.100"
destination_address_prefixes = [
module.configserver_vm[each.key].private_ip
]
},
{
name = "Deny-All-Others"
priority = 4096
direction = "Inbound"
access = "Deny"
protocol = "*"
source_port_range = "*"
destination_port_range = "*"
source_address_prefix = "*"
destination_address_prefix = "*"
}
]
}
// Value
configserver = {
config1 = {
name = "config1"
location = "eastus"
subnet = "services"
availability_zone = 1
vm_size = "Standard_F2s_v2"
hdd_size = 30
}
}
The security group module source has an output file which outputs the id of the nsg
output "nsg_id" {
description = "The ID of the newly created Network Security Group"
value = azurerm_network_security_group.nsg.id
}
Generally, if there isn't a for_each, I could access the nsg_id like this
module.configserver_nsg.id
So far this is good, now the issue is that I am not able to access the nsg_id from another module
module "configserver_vm" {
for_each = var.configserver
source = "../../../terraform/modules/azure-linux-vm"
resource_group = module.resource_group.name
ssh_public_key = var.ssh_public_key
tags = var.tags
vm_name = each.value.name
location = each.value.location
subnet_id = each.value.subnet
availability-zones = each.value.availability_zone
vm_size = each.value.vm_size
hdd-size = each.value.hdd_size
nsg_id = module.configserver_nsg[each.key].nsg_id
}
Based on my research these, a number of posts (here, here, here say I should be able to loop through the map using each.key however
nsg_id = module.configserver_nsg[each.key].nsg_id
this produces the error
Error: Cycle: module.configserver_nsg (close), module.configserver_vm.var.nsg_id (expand), module.configserver_vm.azurerm_network_interface_security_group_association.this, module.configserver_vm (close), module.configserver_nsg.var.security_rules (expand), module.configserver_nsg.azurerm_network_security_group.nsg, module.configserver_nsg.output.nsg_id (expand)
Is there any other way to reference the value?
var.configserver
andmodule.configserver_nsg
as input variables for the module and instead use for_each for the resources inside of the"../../../terraform/modules/azure-linux-vm"
module. Or is there a problem with this approach? – Fedor Petrov
