 Altogether, the following files are generated during the creation of a Constellation cluster and stored in the current workspace:

 * an ID file
 * a Base64-encoded master secret
+* Terraform artifacts such as `terraform.tfstate`
 * a Kubernetes `kubeconfig` file.
 
-Constellation must store the state of its created infrastructure and configuration.
-This state is used by Constellation to map real-world resources to your configuration and keep track of metadata.
-This state is stored in a local file named `constellation-state.json`.
+Constellation uses Terraform for infrastructure management. No setup of Terraform is needed. The CLI automatically fetches a copy of Terraform when required.
 
 After the creation of your cluster, the CLI will provide you with a Kubernetes `kubeconfig` file.
