Explanation

The terraform init command is required before using a new backend or integrating with HCP Terraform/Terraform Cloud. terraform init initializes the working directory and sets up the backend, downloading necessary provider plugins and modules. If the backend configuration changes, Terraform will require re-initialization to apply those changes. Without running terraform init, Terraform will fail to use a new backend or remote Terraform Cloud workspace.
