How to use dynamic resource names in Terraform

Question

Hi Team,

I have created a Terraform script in the Windows system. I want to use dynamic resource names in Terraform. How can I use that?

Hi@akhtar,

I recommend using a different workspace for each environment. This allows you to specify your configuration like this.

variable "env1" {}
provider "aws" {
        region = "ap-southeast-2"
}
resource "aws_sqs_queue" "SqsIntegrationOrderIn" {
        name = "Integration_Order_In__${var.env1}"
        message_retention_seconds = 86400
        receive_wait_time_seconds = 5
}

Make sure to make the name of the "aws_sqs_queue" resource depending on the environment to avoid name conflicts in AWS.
