Where in your Terraform configuration do you specify a state backend?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In Terraform, the backend configuration, which includes details about where and how state is stored, is specified within the terraform block of your configuration. This block is the correct place to define the backend type and its configuration parameters, such as the location of the state file for a local backend or the bucket details for a remote backend like S3. Reference = This practice is outlined in Terraform's core documentation, which provides examples and guidelines on how to configure various aspects of Terraform's behavior, including state backends .

You know, I'm just gonna guess C and call it a day. The terraform block sounds like the most logical place to put this. Unless Terraform has a 'state' block I'm not aware of...

The terraform block? Really, Gracia? I thought that was just for the Terraform version and stuff. This has to be in the provider block.

D, for sure. The provider block is where you handle all your provider-specific settings, including the state backend.
