Fix ResourceInUseException
in Terraform
✅ Solution
The ResourceInUseException generally indicates that a resource Terraform is trying to modify or delete is currently being used or depended on by another resource. To resolve this, ensure dependent resources (like nodegroups attached to an EKS cluster) are explicitly deleted or detached *before* the resource causing the error. Terraform's `depends_on` attribute can also enforce the correct order of operations allowing dependent resources to be deleted first.
