Within the block (the `{ }`) is the configuration for the data instance. The configuration is dependent on the data source type,
and is documented for each data source. For example the configuration of the `amazon-ami` data source can be found at [plugins/datasources/amazon/ami](/packer/plugins/datasources/amazon/ami#configuration-reference).
A data source can output one or more attributes, which can be used by adding their key name to the data source unique
identifier, like `data.<TYPE>.<NAME>.<ATTRIBUTE>`.
