Providers
Terraform relies on providers to perform the actual work of provisioning resources. Each provider contains a set of resources and/or data sources that Terraform can manage.
The Terraform Registry hosts publicly available Terraform providers. It’s a good place to look at the documentation for a particular provider.
Using the provider block #
Every provider has a configuration block that is used to configure the provider.
It’s a common practice to create this file in a provider.tf.
provider "aws" {
region = "us-east-1"
}
provider "google" {
project = "my-project-id"
region = "us-central1"
}
Every provider has a set of arguments that are used to configure the provider, look up the respective provider documentation for more information.
