# Terraform Provider

The terraform provider provides access to outputs from the Terraform state
of shared infrastructure.

Use the navigation to the left to read about the available data sources.

## Example Usage

```
# Shared infrastructure state stored in Atlas
data "terraform_remote_state" "vpc" {
    backend = "atlas"
    config {
        name = "hashicorp/vpc-prod"
    }
}

resource "aws_instance" "foo" {
    # ...
    subnet_id = "${data.terraform_remote_state.vpc.subnet_id}"
}
```
