How do I create a resource with multiple AKAs?

To create a resource such as a folder with a single AKA, we can add the argument aka to the resource block in the configuration file.

resource "turbot_folder" "test_folder" {
    parent = "tmod:@turbot/turbot#/"
    title = "My Test Folder"
    description = "My test folder with 1 AKA"
    akas = ["test-folder"]  //highlight-line
}

To add additional AKA to the resource, simply add items to the array.

resource "turbot_folder" "test_folder_multi_aka" {
    parent = "tmod:@turbot/turbot#/"
    title = "My Test Folder"
    description = "My test folder with multiple AKAs"
    akas = ["test-folder-akas-1", "test-folder-akas-2"] //highlight-line
}

Where can I find example Guardrails Terraform configurations?

You can find lots of examples on our Guardrails Samples Repo.

• Control Objectives are often trivial policies for compliance requirements such as limited S3 public access.
• Calculated Policies are generally more complex. These combine Guardrails Calculated Policies with Terraform.

Which Terraform versions does Guardrails support?

The Guardrails provider supports up to Terraform 0.15.x.
