# Data Sources
Data sources let Packer fetch data to use in a template, including information defined outside of Packer.
Refer to the [`data`](/docs/templates/hcl_templates/datasources) block documentation to learn more about working with data sources. The documentation also contains details about each type of data source.
-> **Note:** Data sources is a feature exclusively available to HCL2 templates included in Packer `v1.7.0` (and newer).
