Configuring the backend-specific settings for storing the Terraform state file. The backend configuration is typically specified in a separate configuration file, often named backend.tf or included within the main.tf file.

Different Types of Blocks in Terraform
Terraform is an infrastructure as a code tool that allows you to define and configure your infrastructure using your declarative code. Its syntax is very simple. Terraform uses a configuration language to describe the desired state of your infrastructure, and this language is composed of various block types. These block types play a crucial role in defining and configuring infrastructure in Terraform.
In Terraform, a block is a fundamental unit used to define and configure different aspects of your infrastructure. Blocks are written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) and allow you to declare resources, providers, variables, outputs, and other configuration elements within your Terraform code.
Each block serves a specific purpose and has its own syntax and set of properties. Here are some common block types used in Terraform:
