/dev/null I believe knowledge is a distributed system and the more we all contribute, the we all learn. Leon's article is the first block on how to modularize your terraform code. The usecase you are describing is a valid one. Is there anything you found somewhere that could help complement Leon's article?

I believe the focus is on how to avoid blast radius. I do agree that having to repeat the provider details in every direction could be annoying.

Found this terraform doc addressing my question https://www.terraform.io/language/settings/backends/local

Thanks for this article. Is there a way to avoid blast radius without using remote state file? Assuming you are developing locally.
