There's actually another option here too that I personally prefer:

   rg_5:
     value: {get_attr: [rg_a, resource.0, rg_a_public_ip]}

Nope, rg_2 returns:

   [<public_ip_0>[0], <public_ip_1>[0], ...]

If this makes no sense, imagine that rg_a_public_ip is actually a map 
rather than a string. If you want to pick one key out of the map on each 
member and return the list of all of them, then you just have to add the 
key as the next argument to get_attr. This makes get_attr on a resource 
group work somewhat differently to other resources, but it's the only 
sensible way to express this in a template:

Whereas rg_4 and rg_5 just return:

   <public_ip_0>
