Make resource type information available in the Terraform diff UI
Actionable Insights
Actionable insights always have a follow-up action that needs to take place as a result of the research observation or data, and a clear recommendation or action associated with it. An actionable insight both defines the insight and clearly calls out the next step. These insights are tracked over time and at the group level.

Terraform MR experience should be updated and improved. Terraform has so-called resources that it manages, like an AWS VPC or EC2 instance. The idea here is to show the resources affected somewhere in the MR. Today, the Terraform widget only shows a summary of the changes. We would like to update this generic set of information to include more details about the individual resources these changes affect.
