These state files contain information about all the resources created by Terraform including virtual machines, networks, and storage accounts. With the use of state files, you can determine what changes need to be made to your infrastructure while running Terraform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Remember:<\/strong> Keep the state files in a safe and accessible location. Either you can store them locally or use object storage services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Local storage makes sharing and collaborating with others difficult.
