Symptom

On a BYOC cluster you are attempting to run

rpk cloud byoc aws apply

or 

rpk cloud byoc gcp apply

and are seeing the following error or similar errors.

This can happen if you using the m1 terraform helper.

Resolution

To move forward you will need to disabled the m1 terraform helper with the following command in background and then attempting to deploy the cluster.
