Managing Terraform State with Azure Storage Backend

Terraform state files are crucial for tracking and managing your infrastructure resources. In this lab, you'll learn how to store and manage these state files using Azure Storage Account as a backend. You'll configure remote state storage, enabling secure collaboration and providing a robust foundation for your infrastructure as code deployments.

Objectives

Upon completion of this intermediate level lab, you will be able to:

• Configure an Azure Storage Account as a Terraform backend
• Set up secure access credentials for the backend
• Implement state locking using Azure Blob Storage
• Manage and access Terraform state in a team environment
• Follow best practices for state file security and management

Who is this lab for?

• DevOps engineers working with Azure and Terraform
• Cloud engineers looking to implement infrastructure as code
• Teams transitioning from local to remote state management
• Infrastructure developers seeking to improve their Terraform workflows
