When declaring a Terraform output, the value argument is required. Outputs are a way to extract information from Terraform-managed infrastructure, and the value argument specifies what data will be outputted. While other arguments like description and sensitive can provide additional context or security around the output, value is the only mandatory argument needed to define an output.References = The requirement of the value argument for outputs is specified in Terraform's official documentation, which provides guidelines on defining and using outputs in Terraform configurations.

 The concept of infrastructure as code (IaC) is to define and manage infrastructure using code, rather than manual processes or GUI tools. A script that contains a series of public cloud CLI commands is an example of IaC, because it uses code to provision resources into a public cloud. The other options are not examples of IaC, because they involve manual or interactive actions, such as running curl commands, sending REST requests, or entering commands into a console. References = [Introduction to Infrastructure as Code with Terraform] and [Infrastructure as Code]

Module Versioning: To specify a version in a module block for modules in theTerraform Registry, you add the version attribute, e.g., version = "1.0.0".

Terraform Registry Support: The public registrysupports versioningby enabling semantic constraints, allowing users to define specific versions compatible with their infrastructure requirements.

Refer to themodule versioning documentationin Terraform’s official registry guide.

The module source path that does not specify a remote module is source = "module/consul". This specifies a local module, which is a module that is stored in a subdirectory of the current working directory. The other options are all examples of remote modules, which are modules that are stored outside of the current working directory and can be accessed by various protocols, such as Git, HTTP, or the Terraform Registry. Remote modules are useful for sharing and reusing code across different configurations and environments. References = [Module Sources], [Local Paths], [Terraform Registry], [Generic Git Repository], [GitHub]
