Create a Terraform-based Blueprint is a three-step process. You’ll need to:

1. Configure a Terraform Backend State

2. Create a Terraform Workspace

3. Create a Terraform Blueprint

Configure a Backend State

...

A Terraform backend allows for abstraction and determines how a state is loaded, and operations executed. Terraform uses the local backend by default. In the HCP portal, a Terraform Backend state stores the current state of the deployment. (Refer Note ^[1) You can use the following steps to configure your ^]

Create your Terraform Workspace

...

Workspaces are collections of infrastructure that run locally. In other words, a workspace is an isolated instance of state data for a Terraform CLI. A Terraform workspace manages each collection of infrastructure with a persistent working directory, which contains a configuration, state data, and variables. The You can create multiple workspaces to manage various sets of discrete infrastructure from a single configuration in a single directory. The Terraform cloud manages infrastructure collections with workspaces instead through workspaces instead of directories. The terraform workspace organizes your infrastructure in a good manner into groups. You can create your new a workspace to manage your collection of infrastructure resources.
