Resource Addressing

The terraform state subcommands use standard address syntax to refer to individual resources, resource instances, and modules. This is the same syntax used for the -target option to the apply and plan commands.

Most state commands allow referring to individual resource instances, whole resources (which may have multiple instances if count or for_each is used), or even whole modules.

For more information on the syntax, see Resource Addressing.
