Larissa is interested in using a module to create an AWS VPC. She finds this code but isn't sure what all the declarations are beyond the source and version (such as "name, cidr, azs, etc). What are these declarations used for? module "vpc" { source = "terraform-aws-modules/vpc/aws" version = "2.21.0" name = var.vpc_name cidr = var.vpc_cidr azs = var.vpc_azs private_subnets = var.vpc_private_subnets public_subnets = var.vpc_public_subnets enable_nat_gateway = var.vpc_enable_nat_gateway tags = var.vpc_tags }

These are variables passed in to the child module, not outputs
