Your team has started using terraform OSS in a big way , and now wants to deploy multi region deployments (DR) in aws using the same terraform files . You want to deploy the same infra (VPC,EC2 ...) in both us-east-1 ,and us-west-2 using the same script , and then peer the VPCs across both the regions to enable DR traffic. But , when you run your script , all resources are getting created in only the default provider region. What should you do? Your provider setting is as below - # The default provider configuration provider "aws" { region = "us-east-1" }

Your team has started using  terraform  OSS in a big way , and now wants to deploy multi region deployments (DR) in aws using the same  terraform  files . You want to deploy the same infra (VPC,EC2 ...) in both us-east-1 ,and us-west-2 using the same script , and then peer the VPCs across both the regions to enable DR traffic. But , when you run your script , all resources are getting created in only the default provider region. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Use provider alias functionality , and add another provider for us-west region . While creating the resources using the tf script , reference the appropriate provider (using the alias).

Answer

Manually create the DR region , once the Primary has been created , since you are using  terraform  OSS , and multi region deployment is only available in  Terraform  Enterprise.

Answer

No way to enable this via a single script . Write 2 different scripts with different default providers in the 2 scripts , one for us-east , another for us-west.

Answer

Create a list of regions , and then use a for-each to iterate over the regions, and create the same resources ,one after the one , over the loop.
