Mention some best practices related to tfstate
Answer
Don't edit it manually. tfstate was designed to be manipulated by terraform and not by users directly.
Store it in secured location (since it can include credentials and sensitive data in general).
Backup it regularly so you can roll-back easily when needed.
Store it in remote shared storage. This is especially needed when working in a team and the state can be updated by any of the team members.
Enabled versioning if the storage where you store the state file, supports it. Versioning is great for backups and roll-backs in case of an issue.
Designate "state owners" who review access, rotate credentials, and execute migrations.
Keep
.tfstatefiles and the.terraform/directory out of version control (.gitignore) and encrypt any ad-hoc backups.
