The `terraform_remote_state` data source uses the latest state snapshot from the remote backend to retrieve the root module output values
The `terraform_remote_state` data source uses the latest state snapshot from a specified state backend to retrieve the root module output values
from some other Terraform configuration.
You can use the `terraform_remote_state` data source without requiring or configuring a provider. It is always available through a built-in provider with the [source address](/language/providers/requirements#source-addresses) `terraform.io/builtin/terraform`. That provider does not include any other resources or data sources.
