# Terraform Provider
-The terraform provider exposes resources to access state meta data
-for Terraform outputs from shared infrastructure.
+The terraform provider provides access to outputs from the Terraform state
+of shared infrastructure.
-The terraform provider is what we call a _logical provider_. This has no
-impact on how it behaves, but conceptually it is important to understand.
-The terraform provider doesn't manage any _physical_ resources; it isn't
-creating servers, writing files, etc. It is used to access the outputs
-of other Terraform states to be used as inputs for resources.
-Examples will explain this best.

-Use the navigation to the left to read about the available resources.
