Support for different backends (S3, HTTP, etc.)
- e.g. s3 bucket: $(aws sts get-caller-identity | jq -r '.Account')-terraform-state
Support branching
- store state in separate path to allow for backup/restore
- by default copy state across branches to keep in sync and avoid conflicts: terraform init -force-copy -backend-config backend.tfvars

State at different levels:

account, single/multiple resources applicable to the entire account (eg. Firewall rules, bastion host, etc.)
environment, resource groupings that may be created more than once (eg. Container clusters, application hosts, dns, etc.)
service, configurations for services deployed in a containerised/application server environment.
