website: null_resource isn't a type of provisioner
This page is useful, but it's easier to tell what it's for if we put it next to the page about connections.

# Provisioners Without a Resource
|
||||
|
||||
The `null_resource` is a resource that allows you to configure provisioners
|
||||
that are not directly associated with a single existing resource.
|
||||
[null]: /docs/providers/null/resource.html
|
||||
|
||||
A `null_resource` behaves exactly like any other resource, so you configure
|
||||
[provisioners](/docs/provisioners/index.html), [connection
|
||||
details](/docs/provisioners/connection.html), and other meta-parameters in the
|
||||
same way you would on any other resource.
|
||||
If you need to run provisioners that aren't directly associated with a specific
|
||||
resource, you can associate them with a `null_resource`.
|
||||
|
||||
This allows fine-grained control over when provisioners run in the dependency
|
||||
graph.
|
||||
Instances of [`null_resource`][null] are treated like normal resources, but they
|
||||
don't do anything. Like with any other resource, you can configure
|
||||
[provisioners](/docs/provisioners/index.html) and [connection
|
||||
details](/docs/provisioners/connection.html) on a `null_resource`. You can also
|
||||
use its `triggers` argument and any meta-arguments to control exactly where in
|
||||
the dependency graph its provisioners will run.
