Azure Multi regions deployement error for count.index many times - azure

Question

I am trying to have the simplest terraform script to deply 6 linux vm's in 6 different Azure Regions, However, my concept doesnt seem to work, and I am not sure how to go from there.
I get this error at multiple places:
Error: Reference to "count" in non-counted context
on main.tf line 4, in resource "azurerm_resource_group" "mygroup":
4: location = "${var.regions[count.index]}"
The "count" object can be used only in "resource" and "data" blocks, and only
when the "count" argument is set.
If I just put a string in place of the specified location, I just get more errors like this, at other places.
I wrote some terraform code and tried to validate it using terraform executable.
My variables.tf file:
variable “regions” {
description = “Regions to deploy”
type = list
default = [“canadaeast”, “eastus”, “japaneast”, “ukwest”, “southeastasia”, “germanynorth”]
}
variable “name” {
description = “name”
type = list
default = [“albert”, “ben”, “carol”, “denis”, “eric”, “frank”]
}
and my main.tf file:
# Create a resource group
resource "azurerm_resource_group" "mygroup" {
name = "RG-MyVMs"
location = "${var.regions[count.index]}"
}
# Create virtual network

location = "${var.regions[count.index]}"
resource_group_name = "${azurerm_resource_group.mygroup.name}"
network_interface_ids = ["${azurerm_network_interface.mynic.id}"]
vm_size = "Standard_B1ls"

os_profile {
computer_name = "${var.name[count.index]}"
admin_username = "admin"
admin_password = ""
}
os_profile_linux_config {

}
}
I am expected to achieve my goals and validate this code before trying to deploy.
