core.use_cloud_backend¶

This rule should enforce that no local statefile is being used.

Why¶

If you store the state locally (default backend), it will be impossible to run terraform from other computers.

Triggers¶

• No backend or cloud block inside terraform
• backend-block of type local

Example¶

Bad¶

terraform {
 backend "local" {
 }
}

or no backend at all

Good¶

terraform {
  backend "s3" {
    bucket = "mybucket"
    key    = "path/to/my/key"
    region = "us-east-1"
  }
}

Configuration¶

There is currently no configuration flags for that rule, beside the option to enable or disable the rule
