Inputs

Name	Description	Type	Default	Required
<a name="input_additional_tag_map"></a> additional_tag_map	Additional key-value pairs to add to each map in `tags_as_list_of_maps`. Not added to `tags` or `id`.<br/>This is for some rare cases where resources want additional configuration of tags<br/>and therefore take a list of maps with tag key, value, and additional configuration.	`map(string)`	`{}`	no
<a name="input_assign_generated_ipv6_cidr_block"></a> assign_generated_ipv6_cidr_block	When `true`, assign AWS generated IPv6 CIDR block to the VPC. Conflicts with `ipv6_ipam_pool_id`.	`bool`	`false`	no
<a name="input_attributes"></a> attributes	ID element. Additional attributes (e.g. `workers` or `cluster`) to add to `id`,<br/>in the order they appear in the list. New attributes are appended to the<br/>end of the list. The elements of the list are joined by the `delimiter`<br/>and treated as a single ID element.	`list(string)`	`[]`	no
<a name="input_availability_zone_ids"></a> availability_zone_ids	List of Availability Zones IDs where subnets will be created. Overrides `availability_zones`.<br/>Can be the full name, e.g. `use1-az1`, or just the part after the AZ ID region code, e.g. `-az1`,<br/>to allow reusable values across regions. Consider contention for resources and spot pricing in each AZ when selecting.<br/>Useful in some regions when using only some AZs and you want to use the same ones across multiple accounts.	`list(string)`	`[]`	no
<a name="input_availability_zones"></a> availability_zones	List of Availability Zones (AZs) where subnets will be created. Ignored when `availability_zone_ids` is set.<br/>Can be the full name, e.g. `us-east-1a`, or just the part after the region, e.g. `a` to allow reusable values across regions.<br/>The order of zones in the list must be stable or else Terraform will continually make changes.<br/>If no AZs are specified, then `max_subnet_count` AZs will be selected in alphabetical order.<br/>If `max_subnet_count > 0` and `length(var.availability_zones) > max_subnet_count`, the list<br/>will be truncated. We recommend setting `availability_zones` and `max_subnet_count` explicitly as constant<br/>(not computed) values for predictability, consistency, and stability.	`list(string)`	`[]`	no

Values are maps of the form<br/>`{<br/> format = string<br/> labels = list(string)<br/>}`<br/>(Type is `any` so the map values can later be enhanced to provide additional options.)<br/>`format` is a Terraform format string to be passed to the `format()` function.<br/>`labels` is a list of labels, in order, to pass to `format()` function.<br/>Label values will be normalized before being passed to `format()` so they will be<br/>identical to how they appear in `id`.<br/>Default is `{}` (`descriptors` output will be empty).	`any`	`{}`	no
