Terraform can store the state remotely, making it easier to version and work with in a team.

# azure
|
|
|
|
Stores the state as a given key in a given bucket on [Microsoft Azure Storage](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-introduction/).
|
|
|
|
-> **Note:** Passing credentials directly via config options will
|
|
make them included in cleartext inside the persisted state.
|
|
Use of environment variables or config file is recommended.
|
|
|
|
