[kamalakar vadla]

Following terraform code giving below error about illegal character :

Code:

provisioner "local-exec" {

   command  = "aws lambda invoke --invocation-type RequestResponse --function-name hello-world --region us-east-1 --log-type Tail --payload '[ {"PrivateDnsName": ${self.private_ip_address} }]' --profile _Dev_Developer "

}

It is complaining about Dollar 

--payload '[ {"PrivateDnsName": "${self.private_ip_address}" }]'

I think I know whats going on, that would be the literal string ${self.private_ip_address} and not the value of the variable as it's ' and not " around it.
