Remote State
Terraform Remote State
Definition
Remote state stores Terraform's state file in a shared backend (S3, GCS, Terraform Cloud) rather than on a local filesystem. This enables team collaboration, state locking to prevent concurrent modifications, and state sharing between Terraform configurations.
Remote state is essential for any team-based Terraform workflow and prevents the 'state file on a laptop' anti-pattern.
