-> Note: This page is about Terraform 0.12 and later. For Terraform 0.11 and earlier, see 0.11 Configuration Language: Interpolation Syntax.

filesha512 is a variant of sha512 that hashes the contents of a given file rather than a literal string.

This is similar to sha512(file(filename)), but because file accepts only UTF-8 text it cannot be used to create hashes for binary files.
