Usage

First Time Creation

If this is your first time using this module, remove the backend.tf file, then create fresh via:

terraform apply

1. Save the output config as backend.tf
2. Edit backend.tf and copy the bucket name to the key name.
3. Run terraform init. Answer YES to whether to copy the backend.tf
4. If it was successful, run rm terraform.tfstate*
5. Run a final terraform apply

Later usage

Run terraform output to get the config, and copy it as a backend.tf in your other projects. Be careful not to reuse the key.

Making Changes

Once you've migrated the backend to s3, you probably do not want to make changes. Do so at your own risk.
