How do you access the attribute 'name' of a resource called 'example' in HCL?

To access the attribute 'name' of a resource called 'example' in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL), you would typically refer to the resource in the format that matches its type and name. The correct format generally follows the syntax of <resource_type>.<resource_name>.<attribute> to access specific attributes of a resource.

In this case, the correct way to access the attribute 'name' of a resource would depend on the type of resource being defined. The option that suggests kubernetes_namespace.example.name indicates that the resource type is kubernetes_namespace, and the resource instance is example. In HCL, if example is indeed an instance of the kubernetes_namespace resource type, then this syntax is appropriate. It allows you to access the name attribute of that specific Kubernetes namespace resource.

If the resource was defined under a different type, such as a standard resource or another provider, the syntax would need to reflect that accordingly, which is why the other options might not adhere to the correct structure or context of the resource in question as they include different resource types or incorrect references that do not match the required access pattern. This understanding of HCL syntax is essential for retrieving attributes correctly in Terraform
