Explanation
You cannot access state stored with the local backend by using the terraform_remote_state data source. The terraform_remote_state data source is used to retrieve the root module output values from some other Terraform configuration using the latest state snapshot from the remote backend. It requires a backend that supports remote state storage, such as S3, Consul, AzureRM, or GCS. The local backend stores the state file locally on the filesystem, which terraform_remote_state cannot access.
