-The `null_resource` is a resource that allows you to configure provisioners
-that are not directly associated with a single existing resource.
+[null]: /docs/providers/null/resource.html
 
-A `null_resource` behaves exactly like any other resource, so you configure
-[provisioners](/docs/provisioners/index.html), [connection
-details](/docs/provisioners/connection.html), and other meta-parameters in the
-same way you would on any other resource.
+If you need to run provisioners that aren't directly associated with a specific
+resource, you can associate them with a `null_resource`.
 
-This allows fine-grained control over when provisioners run in the dependency
-graph.
+Instances of [`null_resource`][null] are treated like normal resources, but they
+don't do anything. Like with any other resource, you can configure
+[provisioners](/docs/provisioners/index.html) and [connection
+details](/docs/provisioners/connection.html) on a `null_resource`. You can also
+use its `triggers` argument and any meta-arguments to control exactly where in
+the dependency graph its provisioners will run.
