@ -11,16 +11,25 @@ We've now seen how to build, change, and destroy infrastructure
from a local machine. This is great for testing and development,
however in production environments it is more responsible to run
Terraform remotely and store a master Terraform state remotely.
Otherwise it's possible for multiple different Terraform states
to be stored on developer machines, which could lead to conflicts.
Additionally by running Terraform remotely, you can move access
credentials off of developer machines, release local machines from
long-running Terraform processes, and store a history of
infrastructure changes to help with auditing and collaboration.
[Atlas](https://atlas.hashicorp.com/?utm_source=oss&utm_medium=getting-started&utm_campaign=terraform)
is HashiCorp's solution for Terraform remote runs and
infrastructure version control. Running Terraform
in Atlas allows teams to easily version, audit, and collaborate
on infrastructure changes. Each proposed change generates
a Terraform plan which can be reviewed and collaborated on as a team.
When a proposed change is accepted, the Terraform logs are stored
in Atlas, resulting in a linear history of infrastructure states to
help with auditing and policy enforcement. Additional benefits to
running Terraform remotely include moving access
credentials off of developer machines and releasing local machines
from long-running Terraform processes.
# How to Use Terraform Remotely
Using Terraform remotely is straightforward with [Atlas by HashiCorp](https://atlas.hashicorp.com/?utm_source=oss&utm_medium=getting-started&utm_campaign=terraform).
You first need to configure [Terraform remote state storage](/docs/commands/remote.html)
You can learn how to use Terraform remotely with our [interactive tutorial](https://atlas.hashicorp.com/tutorial/terraform/?utm_source=oss&utm_medium=getting-started&utm_campaign=terraform),
or you can follow the outlined steps below.
First, configure [Terraform remote state storage](/docs/commands/remote.html)
with the command:
