Summary

The Terraform lock file (.terraform.lock.hcl) is used to record the provider selections made by Terraform during initialization. It ensures that the same provider version is used across different systems and different Terraform runs, providing consistent behavior for your infrastructure. You should keep this file together with your Terraform configuration in your version control repository.
