  1. terraform_synthetic_state resource. 

    The normal way to share a state for consumption by downstream
terraform_remote_state is to just point consumers at the same configuration
used to persist the configuration state.

This is fine most of the time, but sometimes it's desirable to present
downstream consumers with a different level of abstraction than the
physical configuration represents. For example, one might create AWS
infrastructure on a per-region basis but expose it to downstream
configurations on a per-availability-zone basis.

This resource thus allows a Terraform configuration to produce additional
"synthetic" remote states, containing only outputs, that are intended
only for downstream consumption and are not used to actually manage
any resources.
