Could Someone Help me with Understanding Terraform's Remote State Management?

Hello there,

I am new to Terraform and I am trying to wrap my head around remote state management. I understand that remote state management is crucial for collaboration and managing Terraform state across multiple users and teams, but I am still a bit unclear on the best practices and the available options.

Could someone please provide some guidance on these issues:

  • What are the benefits of using remote state management in Terraform?
  • What are the different methods of remote state storage available in Terraform?
  • What are the best practices for setting up remote state management in a team environment?
  • How do I configure Terraform to use remote state?

Also, I have gone through this post: https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/using-terraform-cloud-remote-aws-devops which definitely helped me out a lot.

Thank you in advance for your help and assistance.
