<summary>Explain "State Locking"</summary><br><b> <summary>Explain "State Locking"</summary><br><b>
State locking is a mechanism that blocks an operations against a specific state file from multiple callers so as to avoid conflicting operations from different team members. Once the first caller's operation's lock is released the other team member may go ahead to
carryout his own operation. Nevertheless Terraform will first check the state file to see if the desired resource already exist and
if not it goes ahead to create it.
