Storage account names are different in az cli and Terraform.tf file

[dwschulze]

You show this az cli command:

az storage account create --resource-group MyRgRemoteBackend --name storageremotetf --sku Standard_LRS --encryption-services blob

In Terraform.tf file you show a different storage_account_name:

terraform {
    backend "azurerm" {
        storage_account_name  = "storageremotetfdemo"
        container_name        = "tfbackends"
        key                   = "myappli.tfstate"
       snapshot           = true
    }
}

Don't these have to be the same?

Also, what is the key value shown? Can this be anything we choose it to be?
