The cloud package intends to implement a new integration for
Terraform Cloud/Enterprise. The purpose of this integration is to better
support TFC users; it will shed some overly generic UX and architecture,
behavior changes that are otherwise backwards incompatible in the remote
backend, and technical debt - all of which are vestiges from before
Terraform Cloud existed.
This initial commit is largely a porting of the existing 'remote'
backend, which will serve as an underlying implementation detail and not
be a typical user-level backend. This is because to re-implement the
literal backend interface is orthogonal to the purpose of this
integration, and can always be migrated away from later.
As this backend is considered an implementation detail, it will not be
registered as a declarable backend. Within these changes it is, for easy
of initial development and a clean diff.
This is part of a general effort to move all of Terraform's non-library
package surface under internal in order to reinforce that these are for
internal use within Terraform only.
If you were previously importing packages under this prefix into an
external codebase, you could pin to an earlier release tag as an interim
solution until you've make a plan to achieve the same functionality some
other way.
