# azurerm (formerly azure)
|
|
|
|
**Kind: Standard (with state locking)**
|
|
|
|
Stores the state as a given key in a given blob container on [Microsoft Azure Storage](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-introduction/). This backend also supports state locking and consistency checking via native capabilities of Microsoft Azure Storage.
|
|
|
|
## Example Configuration
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
terraform {
|
|
backend "azurerm" {
|
|
storage_account_name = "abcd1234"
|
|
container_name = "tfstate"
|
|
key = "prod.terraform.tfstate"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that for the access credentials we recommend using a
|
|
[partial configuration](/docs/backends/config.html).
|
|
|
|
## Example Referencing

container_name = "terraform-state"
