Terraform configurations and state data include some highly structured information about the resources they manage; this includes dependency information, outputs (which are pieces of generated or discovered data that the configuration's author considers important enough to surface to users), and more.
Terraform CLI includes some commands for inspecting or transforming this data. You can use these to integrate other tools with Terraform's infrastructure data, or just to gain a deeper or more holistic understanding of your infrastructure.
