Explanation

Before a new provider can be used in Terraform, it must be: (C) declared in the configuration - via a required_providers block in the terraform {} block, specifying the source and version constraints; and (D) initialized - by running terraform init, which downloads the provider plugin binary from the Terraform Registry into the .terraform directory. HashiCorp approval (A) is not required to use a provider - community and custom providers exist. Uploading to source control (B) is not required; the provider binary is fetched from the registry, not committed to version control.
