backend "local" {
path = "relative/path/to/terraform.tfstate"
}
}
Data Source Configuration
data "terraform_remote_state" "foo" {
backend = "local"
config = {
path = "${path.module}/../../terraform.tfstate"
}
}

path
- (Optional) The path to thetfstate
file. This defaults to "terraform.tfstate" relative to the root module by default.workspace_dir
