# State Environments
|
|
|
|
The term _state environment_, or just _environment_, was used within the
|
|
Terraform 0.9 releases to refer to the idea of having multiple distinct,
|
|
named states associated with a single configuration directory.
|
|
|
|
After this concept was implemented, we recieved feedback that this terminology
|
|
caused confusion due to other uses of the word "environment", both within
|
|
Terraform itself and within organizations using Terraform.
|
|
|
|
As of 0.10, the preferred term is "workspace". For more information on
|
|
workspaces, see [the main Workspaces page](/docs/state/workspaces.html).
