    terraform data remote state terraform_remote_state

    On terraform, besides returning some information to the user, returning data as output can be used as an input for terraform code that needs to use a resource created by another team.

    On the terraform code that creates the resource, we will have to set the variable and it's value:

    output endpoint {
