What is data source in Terraform

Question

Hi Guys,

I am new to Terraform. I want to know about data sources in Terraform. Can anyone tell me what is Data Source in Terraform?

Hi@akhtar,

Data sources allow data to be fetched or computed for use elsewhere in Terraform configuration. The use of data sources allows a Terraform configuration to make use of information defined outside of Terraform, or defined by another separate Terraform configuration.
