I'm trying to set up a Terraform script to deploy a windows server. When running terraform apply I get an error message referencing below
Error: Invalid reference
on main.tf line 44, in resource "aws_instance""server":
44: password = "${rsadecrypt(aws_instance.server[0].password_data, file(KEY_PATH))}"
A reference to a resource type must be followed by at least one attribute
access, specifying the resource name.
AFAIK the resource is "aws_instance", the name is "server[0]" while the attribute is the "password_data". I know I'm missing something but don't know what. any assistance would be appreciated.
The full resource module is below in case there is something I'm missing contained in there. Thanks
