Remote Repositories enable you to proxy and cache your remote Terraform Modules and Providers packages.

To specify that a Remote Repository supports Terraform packages, you will need to set its Package Type to Terraform when it is created.

Note that the Remote repository settings are identical for both Providers and Modules.
