Attach Policy Using Terraform Kodekloud Engineer Task Success

 Question : The Nautilus DevOps team has been creating a couple of services on AWS cloud. They have been breaking down the migration into smaller tasks, allowing for better control, risk mitigation, and optimization of resources throughout the migration process. Recently they came up with requirements mentioned below.

An IAM user named iamuser_john and a policy named iampolicy_john already exists. Use Terraform to attach the IAM policy iampolicy_john to the IAM user iamuser_john. The Terraform working directory is /home/bob/terraform. Update the main.tf file (do not create a separate .tf file) to attach the specified IAM policy to the IAM user.
