Explanation

The Terraform binary version and provider versions do not have to match each other in a single configuration. Terraform allows you to specify provider version constraints in the configuration's terraform block, which can be different from the Terraform binary version. Terraform will use the newest version of the provider that meets the configuration's version constraints. You can also use the dependency lock file to ensure Terraform is using the correct provider version.
