+This will create a container called `terraform-state` and an object within that container called `tfstate.tf`. It will enable versioning using the `terraform-state-archive` container to contain the older version.
 
 -> Note: Currently, the object name is statically defined as 'tfstate.tf'. Therefore Swift [pseudo-folders](https://docs.openstack.org/user-guide/cli-swift-pseudo-hierarchical-folders-directories.html) are not currently supported.
