Rules

Terragrunt · balanced balanced

- Define shared backend and provider configuration in a root `terragrunt.hcl` using `remote_state` and `generate` blocks — child configs inherit via `find_in_parent_folders()`.

- Use `dependency` blocks to reference outputs from other Terragrunt units: `dependency.vpc.outputs.vpc_id` — Terragrunt handles the state lookup automatically.

- Run `terragrunt run-all plan` from the environment root to plan all units in dependency order.

- Use `locals` in `terragrunt.hcl` to derive environment name and region from the directory path via `path_relative_to_include()` — eliminate per-environment variable duplication.
