@ -98,3 +98,13 @@ target Terraform Cloud workspace determine whether operations run remotely or
locally. If local operations are configured, Terraform uses the `remote` backend
for state and the `local` backend for operations, like with the other state
backends.
### Backend Types
Terraform's backends are divided into two main types, according to how they
handle state and operations:
- **Enhanced** backends can both store state and perform operations. There are
only two enhanced backends: `local` and `remote`.
- **Standard** backends only store state, and rely on the `local` backend for
performing operations.
