Terraform: Azure: State Management

This repository contains IaC to provision state back-end for Terraform in Azure. It uses an Azure Storage Account to store the Terraform state files, which is a best practice for managing state in a collaborative environment.

  • Authors: PaperCloud Tech – OSS Division
  • Created on: 07/24/2025

Usage

To use the provisioned back-end, use the following provider configuration. Please ensure you have necessary environment variables setup or follow the guide here to understand on how to setup the necessary credentials for Terraform to successfully use the back-end with Azure.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    azurerm = {
      source  = "hashicorp/azurerm"
      version = "VERSION"
    }
  }

  backend "azurerm" {
    tenant_id            = "AZURE_TENANT_ID"
    client_id            = "AZURE_APP_CLIENT_ID"

    resource_group_name  = "AZURE_RG_NAME"
    storage_account_name = "AZURE_SA_NAME"
    container_name       = "AZURE_CONTAINER_NAME"
    key                  = "STATE_KEY"
  }
}
