Unable to launch multiple EC2 instances in different availability zones using terraform Whenever I try to launch the instances, I am getting the following error message. Please help with this.   

Error: Error applying plan:

3 error(s) occurred:

* aws_instance.example[0]: 1 error(s) occurred:

Terraform does not automatically rollback in the face of errors.
Instead, your Terraform state file has been partially updated with
any resources that successfully completed. Please address the error
above and apply again to incrementally change your infrastructure.
It looks like you're using the wrong brackets? I think you need to use a list:

variable "azs" {
  description = "Run the EC2 Instances in these Availability Zones"
  type = "list"
  default = ["us-east-1a", "us-east-1b", "us-east-1c"]
}
