In Terraform, before you can make use of a remote backend, you need to initialize your working directory using the terraform init command. This command sets up the necessary configurations, downloads provider plugins, and prepares the backend for remote state storage. Without running terraform init first, Terraform would not be able to connect to the remote backend or perform other essential setup tasks.
