Explanation
Remote Backends enable this hybrid execution model. When configured with Terraform Cloud as the remote backend, terraform plan and terraform apply commands are executed in Terraform Cloud's managed run environment (with its own workers, policies, and audit logs), but the output is streamed back to the local terminal in real time. Local backends run everything locally. The question specifically describes the behavior of the remote backend type (e.g., the remote backend using Terraform Cloud).
