Create Your Terraform Workspace

The Workspaces are collections of infrastructure when you run locally, Terraform manages each collection of infrastructure with a persistent working directory, which contains a configuration, state data, and variables. The Terraform cloud manages infrastructure collections with workspaces instead of directories. The terraform workspace organizes your infrastructure in a good manner into groups. You can create your new workspace to manage your collection of infrastructure resources.
