Exam Terraform Associate topic 1 question 191 discussion

terraform init Once you have authenticated to Terraform Cloud, you're ready to migrate your local state file to Terraform Cloud. To begin the migration, reinitialize. This causes Terraform to recognize your cloud block configuration.

I think terraform init -migrate-state The -migrate-state option will attempt to copy existing state to the new backend, and depending on what changed, may result in interactive prompts to confirm migration of workspace states. The -force-copy option suppresses these prompts and answers "yes" to the migration questions. Enabling -force-copy also automatically enables the -migrate-state option. https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/commands/init

terraform init

Just did it some days ago (from local to s3). I did "terraform init" and then terraform asks to confirm the migration of your state file. No "-migrate-state" needed.

terraform init -migrate-state missing the last part in the correct answer

Re-running init with an already-initialized backend will update the working directory to use the new backend settings. Either -reconfigure or -migrate-state must be supplied to update the backend configuration https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/commands/init I'm going w/ : terraform init -migrate-state

terraform init -migrate-state. This command will tell Terraform to read the existing state file and migrate it to the new remote backend. The -migrate-state flag is only available in Terraform 0.15 and later. If you are using an older version of Terraform, you will need to use the terraform state mv command to manually migrate the state file. Here is an example of how to use the terraform init -migrate-state command: terraform init -migrate-state \ -backend=s3://my-bucket/my-workspace

terraform init -migrate-state

terraform init --reconfigure is correct

terraform init --reconfigure should be correct<<<<<<<<<<<< https://support.hashicorp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001151948-Migrate-Workspace-State-Using-Terraform-State-Push-Pull

terraform init --reconfigure , but I think terraform init will be sufficient.

terraform init -upgrade To migrate a workspace to use a remote backend, you need to run the terraform init command with the -upgrade flag. This will cause Terraform to upgrade the workspace to use the new backend configuration. For example, if you have updated your configuration to use an S3 backend. This will cause Terraform to create any necessary resources in the remote backend (such as an S3 bucket) and migrate the workspace state to the new backend. It is important to note that this will overwrite any existing state in the remote backend, so it is recommended to take a backup of the state before running this command.
