const instance = new Instance(this, 'hello', {
  ami: 'ami-abcde123',

});

new TerraformOutput(this, 'instance_tags', {
    value: instance.tags
});

Expected Behavior

It assigns the instance tags as value for the TerraformOutput

Actual Behavior

Type '{ [key: string]: string; } | undefined' is not assignable to type 'string | number | boolean | any[] | { [key: string]: any; }'.
  Type 'undefined' is not assignable to type 'string | number | boolean | any[] | { [key: string]: any; }'.ts(2322)
