# Data Sources
|
|
|
|
Data sources allow data to be fetched for use in Packer configuration. Use of data sources
|
|
allows a build to use information defined outside of Packer.
|
|
|
|
See the [`data`](/docs/templates/hcl_templates/datasources) block documentation to learn more
|
|
about working with data sources. For information on an individual data source,
|
|
choose it from the sidebar.
|
|
|
|
-> **Note:** Data sources is a feature exclusively available to HCL2 templates included in Packer `v1.7.0` (and newer).
