 By default, Terraform stores state locally in a file named terraform.tfstate. When working with Terraform in a team, use of a local file makes Terraform usage complicated. With remote state, Terraform writes the state data to a remote data store. For this sample we will use a Terraform CLI task that allows to create an Azure storage account and storage container to store Terraform state if this not exists yet. For more information on Terraform remote state click [here](https://www.terraform.io/docs/state/remote.html)
