Variables can be collected in files and passed all at once using the
`-var-file=foo.tfvars` flag. The format for variables in `.tfvars`
files is [HCL](/docs/configuration/syntax.html#HCL), with top level key/value
pairs:
`-var-file=foo.tfvars` flag.
If a "terraform.tfvars" file is present in the current directory, Terraform
automatically loads it to populate variables. If the file is named something
else, you can use the -var-file flag directly to specify a file. These files
are the same syntax as Terraform configuration files. And like Terraform
configuration files, these files can also be JSON. The format for variables in
`.tfvars` files is [HCL](/docs/configuration/syntax.html#HCL), with top level
key/value pairs:
```
foo = "bar"
