Expressions in connection blocks cannot refer to their parent resource by name. References create dependencies, and referring to a resource by name within its own block would create a dependency cycle. Instead, expressions can use the self object, which represents the connection’s parent resource and has all of that resource’s attributes. For example, use self.public_ip to reference an aws_instance’s public_ip attribute.
