How to for_each through a list(objects) in Terraform 0.12

Question

I need to deploy a list of GCP compute instances. How do I loop for_each through the "vms" in a list of objects like this:

    "gcp_zone": &q

You can do the following:

for_each = toset(keys({for i, r in var.vms:  i => r}))
cpu = var.vms[each.value]["cpu"]

Assuming you had the following:

variable "vms" {
    type = list(object({
        hostname        = string
        cpu             = number
        ram             = number
        hdd             = number
        log_drive       = number
        template        = string 
        service_types   = list(string)
    }))
    default = [
        {
            cpu: 1
            ...
        }
    ]
}
