Terraform support three (3) distinct syntax for adding comments.

The same as a #
but added as an alternative. Often more familiar to most programmers in other languages. Purely a preference for some.
Also note that many popular formatting tools will replace //
with #
when found.
/*
and */
– Multi line comments
/*
starts a multi-line comment and ends when a */
is found further down the script.
