This course is designed to help learners obtain the Terraform Associate certification from HashiCorp. 

You’ve likely picked up this course because you dabbled in Terraform as a hobbyist or in a
development environment, and you’re excited about the possibilities of deploying Infrastructure 
as Code (IaC). It will enable you to sharpen your skills and prove your knowledge with a certification from HashiCorp. Terraform is an amazing tool to deploy Infrastructure as Code in a cloud-agnostic way. We’re excited to share our accumulated knowledge with you through this course.

## How is the Terraform `backend` block defined?

The configuration of Terraform back-ends is defined inside the `terraform` block of a root module. The nested `backend` block defines the type of back-end being used and the required and optional properties of that back-end. Only one back-end can be specified per configuration. We can’t simultaneously store our state in two different back-ends or split our state across two different back-ends. That situation can be solved by splitting the configuration itself into two interdependent configurations.

As we saw earlier, a basic `backend` configuration block using Azure Storage might look like this:
