  lifecycle {
    ignore_changes = [

    ]

  }
}

Expected Behavior

The deployment (Ubuntu/SLES) should be deployed with a custom cloud init configuration.

An example yaml used in vRA deployment blueprint:

resources:
  vSphere_VM:
    properties:
      cloudConfig: |
        users:
          - default
          - name: ${input.username}
            lock_passwd: false
            sudo: ['ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL']
            groups: [wheel, sudo, admin, docker]
            shell: '/bin/bash'
            ssh_authorized_keys:
              - ${input.sshkey}

Actual Behavior

│ Error: Incorrect attribute value type
│
│   on main.tf line 58, in resource "vra_deployment" "this":
│   58:   resources = {
│   59:     vSphere_VM =  {
│   60:       properties = {
│   61:         cloudConfig: {}
│   62:       }
│   63:     }
│   64:   }
