Question

How does an HCP Terraform integration that uses the cloud block differ from remote backends such as S3?

A Using the cloud block automatically encrypts state files at rest and in transit.
B Using the cloud block requires using Terraform Enterprise.
C The cloud block supports multiple backends simultaneously.
D Using the cloud block enables remote operations on infrastructure managed by HCP Terraform or Terraform Enterprise.

Explanation

The cloud block integrates Terraform with HCP Terraform or Terraform Enterprise, where CLI-driven plan and apply operations can run remotely in the platform’s managed run environment. An S3 backend provides remote state storage but not HCP Terraform/Terraform Enterprise managed remote operations.
