+<sxh json>
+terraform {
+  required_providers {
+    aws = {
+      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
+      version = "~> 3.0"

 }
 </sxh>
+=== Data ===
+When you define ''data'' blocks Terraform communicates with the **AWS provider** to query AWS and fetch the list of requested resources, mentioned in data-block.
+<sxh json>
+</sxh>
+You can apply filters.
+<sxh json>
+# Find the latest available AMI that is tagged with Component = web
+data "aws_ami" "web" {
+  filter {
+    name   = "state"
+    values = ["available"]
+  }
+  filter {
+    name   = "tag:Component"
+    values = ["web"]
+  }
+  most_recent = true
+}
+</sxh>
+Create **templates.tf**
+<sxh json>
+data "template_file" "tf_iot_policy" {
+  vars = {
+    aws_region = "${var.aws_region}"
+    aws_account_id = "${var.aws_account_id}"
+  }
+  template = <<EOF
+{
+  "Version": "2012-10-17",
+  "Statement": [
+    {
+      "Effect": "Allow",
+      "Action": [
+        "iot:Connect",
+        "iot:Publish",
+        "iot:Receive",
+        "iot:Subscribe"
+      ],
+      "Resource": "arn:aws:iot:$${aws_region}:$${aws_account_id}:*"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+EOF
+}
+</sxh>
+Usage
+<sxh json>
+resource "aws_iot_policy" "iot_policy" {
+  name   = "${local.iot_policy}"
+  policy = "${data.template_file.tf_iot_policy.rendered}"
+}
+</sxh>
+=== Dynamic block ===
+See https://spacelift.io/blog/terraform-dynamic-blocks
+To replace the repetitive code as here in a module:
+<sxh json>
+resource "azurerm_virtual_network" "dynamic_block" {
+  name                = "vnet-dynamicblock-example-centralus"
+  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.dynamic_block.name
+  location            = azurerm_resource_group.dynamic_block.location
+  address_space       = ["10.10.0.0/16"]
+  subnet {
+    name           = "snet1"
+    address_prefix = "10.10.1.0/24"
+  }
+  subnet {
+    name           = "snet2"
+    address_prefix = "10.10.2.0/24"
+  }
+  subnet {
+    name           = "snet3"
+    address_prefix = "10.10.3.0/24"
+  }
+  subnet {
+    name           = "snet4"
+    address_prefix = "10.10.4.0/24"
+  }
+}
+</sxh>
+Use the "dynamic" block
+<sxh json>
+resource "azurerm_virtual_network" "dynamic_block" {
+  name                = "vnet-dynamicblock-example-centralus"
+  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.dynamic_block.name
+  location            = azurerm_resource_group.dynamic_block.location
+  address_space       = ["10.10.0.0/16"]
+  dynamic "subnet" {
+    for_each = var.subnets
+    iterator = item   #optional
+    content {
+      name           = item.value.name
+      address_prefix = item.value.address_prefix
+    }
+  }
+}
+</sxh>
+Declare a variable in your module
+<sxh json>
+variable "subnets" {
+  description = "list of values to assign to subnets"
+  type = list(object({
+    name           = string
+    address_prefix = string
+  }))
+}
+</sxh>
+**USAGE of your module**
+Assigning values to the variable "subnets", which are taken by the module above.
+<sxh json>
+subnets = [
+  { name = "snet1", address_prefix = "10.10.1.0/24" },
+  { name = "snet2", address_prefix = "10.10.2.0/24" },
+  { name = "snet3", address_prefix = "10.10.3.0/24" },
+  { name = "snet4", address_prefix = "10.10.4.0/24" }
+]
+</sxh>
