LGTM. Congratulations on your first Terraform contribution! 🎉

thanks @7heo - one small tilde, but oh so much lovelier to work with

@nathanleiby I couldn't have done what I'm needing without it, to be honest. I's rather sweet to have

resource "google_compute_instance" "default" {
[...]
    metadata {
        sshKeys = "${var.ssh_user}:${file(\"~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub\")}"
    }

    provisioner "local-exec" {
        command = "./bootstrap_chef.sh ${var.ssh_user} ${google_compute_instance.default.network_interface.0.access_config.0.nat_ip}"
    }
[...]
}

working :)

It is SO much cleaner than having to wrap terraform in a shell script just for that purpose... So yeah I'm very glad it works, and I'm even happier that 0.4.0 gets released soon.
