💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using an incorrect or outdated AMI name pattern in the filter.

Using a generic or unrelated name for the data source identifier.

The data source name is a label like amazon_linux. The filter value should match the AMI name pattern, here amzn2-ami-hvm-2.0.*-x86_64-gp2 to get the latest Amazon Linux 2 AMI.

Fill all three blanks to complete the data source block that fetches a subnet by its tag.

    values = ["[3]"]
  }
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

DName

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect tag keys or values that do not exist.

Using generic names that do not clearly identify the data source.

The data source name is selected_subnet. The filter uses the tag key Environment and looks for the value production to find the subnet.
