Official example

# documentation for aws_iam_role for a complete example.

# Because this expression refers to the role, Terraform can infer
# automatically that the role must be created first.

name = "example"
role = aws_iam_role.example.name

# However, if software running in this EC2 instance needs access
# to the S3 API in order to boot properly, there is also a "hidden"
# dependency on the aws_iam_role_policy that Terraform cannot
# automatically infer, so it must be declared explicitly:
