Terraform Outputs

A Terraform output defines a value that is shown to the user when a Terraform apply finishes.

In TypeScript, a Terraform output for an AWS instance public IP can be expressed by TerraformOutput.

const instance = new Instance(this, "hello", {
  ami: "ami-abcde123",
  instanceType: "t2.micro",
});

new TerraformOutput(this, "public_ip", {
  value: instance.publicIp,
});

The TerraformOutput synthesizes to the following:

"output": {
    "examplesimplepublicipE5F943EE": {
      "value": "${aws_instance.examplesimpleHelloF6D4983C.public_ip}"
    }
}
