Arguments

source

The source argument is required. It is a meta-argument defined by the Terraform CLI. Its value is either the path to the local directory that contains the dependency module's configuration files or a remote module source that Terraform should download and use. This value must be a literal string with no template sequences; arbitrary expressions are not allowed. For more details see:
