"lcoals" vs "local" - just need more information around it.

Thanks for making it very easy for me to learn how to deploy the AKs using Terraform and how to use workload identity. I am quite new using terraform. I have one little doubt regarding the 0-locals.tf file, where you defined "locals" as a function. but you have used "local" in other TF files, e.g., 2-resource-group, to have reference to "local", not "locals". Can you please let me know why you have not used "locals" instead of "local"?

It might not be the issue. But the answer would really help to resolve my doubts. Thanks Mukul

To define variables you use "locals" block. To use variable you use "local.". Here is a reference to official doc - https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/values/locals#declaring-a-local-value
