What is TfStated

TfStated is an OpenTofu/Terraform states HTTP backend.

OpenTofu/Terraform state files are extremely sensitive: they describe the complete state of one's infrastructure including secrets and other sensitive data. TfStated's primary mission is to safely and securely manage these state files. This entails:

  • Storing the state files fully encrypted.
  • Controlling whose people or what systems have access to which state files.
  • Keeping an audit log of state files access and modifications.
  • Storing state files version history.
  • Allowing to rollback to previous state files versions.
  • Manage state file locks.
