    15  ~> **Note** Terraform primarily deals with remote resources which are able
    16  to outlive a single Terraform run, and so local resources can sometimes violate
    17  its assumptions. The resources here are best used with care, since depending
    18  on local state can make it hard to apply the same Terraform configuration on
    19  many different local systems where the local resources may not be universally
    20  available. See specific notes in each resource for more information.
