- Installed hashicorp/random v3.4.3 (signed by HashiCorp)
- Using previously-installed hashicorp/local v2.2.3
Terraform has made some changes to the provider dependency selections recorded
in the .terraform.lock.hcl file. Review those changes and commit them to your
version control system if they represent changes you intended to make.
Terraform has been successfully initialized!
You may now begin working with Terraform. Try running "terraform plan" to see
any changes that are required for your infrastructure. All Terraform commands
should now work.
If you ever set or change modules or backend configuration for Terraform,
rerun this command to reinitialize your working directory. If you forget, other
commands will detect it and remind you to do so if necessary.
(base) pradeep:~$
We can see, in this case, we are using previously-installed hashicorp/local v2.2.3 along with another plugin hashicorp/random v3.4.3.

Other than password and pets, there are few more random resources can be created using the random provider.
