A backend defines where Terraform stores its state data files.

Terraform uses persisted state data to keep track of the resources it manages.

Most non-trivial Terraform configurations either integrate with Terraform Cloud or use a backend to store state remotely.

This lets multiple people access the state data and work together on that collection of infrastructure resources.

You do not need to configure a backend when using Terraform Cloud because Terraform Cloud automatically manages state in the workspaces associated with your configuration.

If your configuration includes a cloud block, it cannot include a backend block.

To configure a backend, add a nested backend block within the top-level terraform block.

The following example configures the remote backend.

terraform { backend "remote" { organization = "example_corp"

workspaces {
  name = "my-app-prod"
}

} }
