You can see that we just have defined this output that just says "Hello world." But let's talk a little bit about what we're actually doing here, right? So this is obviously like a hyper simple example. So we just ran apply, we can run plan, we've been through these commands. So in that time it's reading that configuration, it's checking the state, it's doing all those things. But let's try and take this example just a little bit further. We'll exercise a little bit of the tool before we dive really into the syntax, just so that we start to get a little bit better idea of how the tool would work when we're actually deploying our infrastructure. So I'm going to go ahead and make another file here, and we're going to call it bucket.TF. So remember that our files have to have this .TF in order to be recognized by Terraform. And…
