Explanation

When multiple provider configurations are defined using an alias, Terraform requires the provider meta-argument inside the resource block to explicitly reference the aliased provider. In this case, the provider is defined as aws with alias = "west", so resources targeting us-west-2 must specify: provider = aws.west This tells Terraform exactly which provider configuration to use.
