How to setup terraform backend with Azure Storage
Jan 9, 2021
If you are using Terraform for infrastructure provisioning on any cloud it is very important to store tfstate files at a centralized place. This will allow us to update the infrastructure very easily and allow multiple developers to use the same terraform repository.
How does it work?
In the example below I have defined backend block(azurerm) inside terraform block where I have given details of storage account where generated tfstate files will get stored. Now, whenever we use command terraform apply this will create/update infrastructure as described in the main.tf. The tfstate file gets stored on a specified storage account.
