At the top is the root path. Indented below it are three subfolders: compartments, iam and vcn. The compartments item contains three files: compartments.tf, compartments_output.tf, and variables.tf. The iam item contains four files: groups.tf, iam_outputs.tf, policies.tf and variables.tf. The vcn item contains three files: variables.tf, vcn.tf, and vcn_output.tf.

Below all of these items are the five files that are created in the root directory: datasources.tf, provider.tf, root.tf, terraform.tvars and variables.tf.
