Terraform can store the state remotely, making it easier to version and work with in a team.
---
# gcs
Stores the state as a given key in a given bucket on [Google Cloud Storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage/).
-> **Note:** Passing credentials directly via config options will
make them included in cleartext inside the persisted state.
Use of environment variables or config file is recommended.
## Example Usage
```
terraform remote config \
-backend=gcs \
-backend-config="bucket=terraform-state-prod" \
-backend-config="path=network/terraform.tfstate" \
-backend-config="project=goopro"
```
## Example Referencing
```hcl
# setup remote state data source
data "terraform_remote_state" "foo" {
backend = "gcs"
config {
bucket = "terraform-state-prod"
path = "network/terraform.tfstate"
project = "goopro"
}
}
# read value from data source
resource "template_file" "bar" {
template = "${greeting}"
vars {
greeting = "${data.terraform_remote_state.foo.output.greeting}"
}
}
```
## Configuration variables
The following configuration options are supported:
* `bucket` - (Required) The name of the GCS bucket
* `path` - (Required) The path where to place/look for state file inside the bucket
