If a "terraform.tfvars" file is present, Terraform automatically loads
it to populate variables. If the file is named something else, you can
use the `-var-file` flag directly to specify a file.
If a "terraform.tfvars" file is present in the current directory,
Terraform automatically loads it to populate variables. If the file is
named something else, you can use the `-var-file` flag directly to
specify a file. Like configuration files, variable files can also be
JSON.
We recommend using the "terraform.tfvars" file, and ignoring it from
version control.
