Terraform stores the state of your managed infrastructure from the last time
|
|
|
|
|
Terraform was run. By default this state is stored in a local file named
|
|
|
|
|
`terraform.tfstate`, but it can also be stored remotely, which works better in a
|
|
|
|
|
team environment.

Terraform Enterprise is a remote state provider, allowing you to store, version
|
|
|
|
|
and collaborate on states.

Remote state gives you more than just easier version control and safer storage.
|
|
|
|
|
It also allows you to delegate the outputs to other teams. This allows your
|
|
|
|
|
infrastructure to be more easily broken down into components that multiple teams
|
|
|
|
|
can access.
