remote

This example sets up a remote backend with a minimal example of a state stored in it.

It:

• Connects to Terraform Cloud organization "terraform-examples" and creates/updates workspace "backends/remote"

• Sets up an AWS VPC, storing state in that backend

These are the files used:

destroy.sh - Shell script to clean up any previous run of run.sh

run.sh - Run this whole example up, setting up backend, and AWS VPC

main.tf - Template file for Terraform code for AWS VPC using remote backend

There are mandatory manual steps to be done on Terraform Cloud:

1. Register an account
2. Create organization
3. Create workspace in that organization
4. Change "Execution Mode" (Settings->General) to "Local", this will make sure that Terraform Cloud is only used to store and synchronize state.
5. We will follow CLI-driven Run Workflow. Ensure you are properly authenticated into Terraform Cloud by running terraform login or by use a credentials block.
6. After running run.sh, and approving the apply you should be able to see your state stored in the workspace under the State tabs.
