A reason to stop using the Terraform null_resource
<p>The Terraform <code>null_resource</code> was introduced in 2014 and, according to Hashicorp¹, it is the 3rd most-downloaded provider in the Terraform Registry.</p>
<p>This resource is widely used because it acts as an empty container or resource shell. Inside this container, users can define and execute arbitrary code or scripts without being tied to a specific resource lifecycle.</p>
<p>One particular use case for the <code>null_resource</code> in Terraform is to trigger external processes or perform actions that are not directly related to any particular infrastructure resource, such as running a custom script or executing a remote command on a server.</p>
