Terraform state files are not automatically encrypted by default. Sensitive values are stored in plaintext within the state file. However, you can protect the state file by using remote backends that support encryption, such as AWS S3 with server-side encryption enabled or Terraform Cloud, which offers encrypted state storage.

Not all modules published on the official Terraform Module Registry have been verified by HashiCorp. While HashiCorp verifies some modules, there are many community-contributed modules that are not verified. Verified modules have a "Verified" badge indicating that HashiCorp has reviewed them for security and best practices, but the registry also includes unverified modules.

The best way to specify a tag of v1.0.0 when referencing a module stored in Git is to append ?ref=v1.0.0 argument to the source path. This tells Terraform to use a specific Git reference, such as a branch, tag, or commit, when fetching the module source code. For example, source = " ". This ensures that the module version is consistent and reproducible across different environments. References = [Module Sources], [Module Versions]

 This is the command that can add existing resources into Terraform state, by matching them with the corresponding configuration blocks in your files.
