-These are very similar to regular [resource](https://github.com/Raviadonis/terraform-1/blob/master/beginners/resources/README.md###Resource) object which represents a piece of read-only information that can be fetched from the `provider` (here it is AWS) or from an [external](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/external/latest/docs/data-sources/data_source) data source. This cannot be used for any operations like CREATE, UPDATE, or DELETE. Instead, they can only return several informations (meta-data) like AMI ID, Private IP, Instance ID and so on from an existing resources.
