+### `for_each`: Multiple Resource Instances Defined By a Map, or Set of Strings
+
+[inpage-for_each]: #for_each-multiple-resource-instances-defined-by-a-map-or-set-of-strings
+
+When the `for_each` meta-argument is present, Terraform will create instances
+based on the keys and values present in a provided map, or set of strings, and expose the values
+of the map to the resource for its configuration.
+
+The keys and values of the map, or strings in the case of a set, are exposed via the `each` attribute,
+which can only be used in blocks with a `for_each` argument set.
+
+```hcl
+resource "azurerm_resource_group" "rg" {
+  for_each = {
+    a_group = "eastus"
+    another_group = "westus2"
+  }
+  name     = each.key
+  location = each.value
+}
+```
+
+Resources created by `for_each` are identified by the key associated with the instance -
+that is, if we have `azurerm_resource_group.rg` as above, the instances will be `azurerm_resource_group.rg["a_group"]`
+and `azurerm_resource_group.rg["another_group"]`, as those are the keys in the map provided
+to the `for_each` argument.
+
+The `for_each` argument also supports a set of strings in addition to maps; convert a list
+to a set using the `toset` function. As such, we can take the example
+in `count` and make it safer to use, as we can change items in our set
+and because the string keys are used to identify the instances,
+we will only change the items we intend to:
+
+```hcl
+variable "subnet_ids" {
+  type = list(string)
+}
+
+resource "aws_instance" "server" {
+  for_each = toset(var.subnet_ids)
+
+  ami           = "ami-a1b2c3d4"
+  instance_type = "t2.micro"
+  subnet_id     = each.key # note, each.key and each.value will be the same on a set
+
+  tags {
+    Name = "Server ${each.key}"
+  }
+}
+```
