The remote backend stores Terraform state and may be used to run operations in Terraform Cloud.
When using full remote operations, operations like `terraform plan` or `terraform apply` can be executed in Terraform
Cloud's run environment, with log output streaming to the local terminal. Remote plans and applies use variable values from the associated Terraform Cloud workspace.

When used with a Pro or Premium tier Terraform Cloud account, operations
like `terraform plan` or `terraform apply` are executed in Terraform
Cloud's run environment, with log output streaming to the local terminal.
Remote plans and applies use variable values from the associated Terraform
