Problem Statement
What is a remote backend in Terraform and what are its advantages?
Explanation
A remote backend in Terraform is a configuration that stores the state file on an external service such as AWS S3, Azure Storage, or Terraform Cloud.
It enables team collaboration by providing shared access to the same state file, supports state locking to avoid race conditions, and improves security through encryption. Using a remote backend is essential in production environments to ensure consistency and data safety across multiple users.
