💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'aws' or 'gcs' as backend type for Azure Storage.

Using 'local' backend instead of cloud backend.

The backend type for Azure Storage in Terraform is azurerm. This tells Terraform to use Azure Blob Storage for state files.

Complete the code to specify the Azure Storage container name for the backend.

Terraform

terraform {
  backend "azurerm" {
    resource_group_name  = "myResourceGroup"
    storage_account_name = "mystorageaccount"
    container_name       = "[1]"
    key                  = "terraform.tfstate"
  }

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using uppercase letters in container name.

Using invalid container names with spaces or special characters.

The container name is where the Terraform state file is stored in Azure Blob Storage. 'tfstate' is a common and valid container name.

Fix the error in the backend configuration by completing the missing key name.

Terraform

terraform {
  backend "azurerm" {
    resource_group_name  = "myResourceGroup"
    storage_account_name = "mystorageaccount"
    container_name       = "tfstate"
    [1] = "terraform.tfstate"
  }
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'state_file' or 'file_key' instead of 'key'.

Omitting the key property entirely.

The correct key to specify the state file name in the Azure backend is key. This tells Terraform the name of the state file inside the container.

Fill both blanks to complete the backend configuration with correct resource group and storage account names.

Terraform

terraform {
  backend "azurerm" {
    resource_group_name  = "[1]"
    storage_account_name = "[2]"
    container_name       = "tfstate"
    key                  = "terraform.tfstate"
  }
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up resource group and storage account names.

Using uppercase letters in storage account name.

The resource group name and storage account name must match the actual Azure resources. 'myResourceGroup' and 'mystorageaccount' are valid example names.

hard

Fill all three blanks to complete the backend configuration with correct container name, key, and resource group name.

Terraform

terraform {
  backend "azurerm" {
    resource_group_name  = "[1]"
    storage_account_name = "mystorageaccount"
    container_name       = "[2]"
    key                  = "[3]"
  }

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Confusing container name with resource group name.

Using incorrect key names.

The resource group name is 'myResourceGroup', the container name is 'tfstate', and the key (state file name) is 'terraform.tfstate'. These are standard names used in Azure Storage backend configuration.
