Скачать или смотреть Setting Up Terraform Remote Backend On AWS Using Amazon S3 and DynamoDB With A Bash Script

Managing Terraform's remote state on AWS, including components like S3 buckets and DynamoDB tables, can be challenging. It often feels like a 🐥 Chicken-and-Egg 🥚 situation, where you need both AWS resources and Terraform's state storage, but they depend on each other.

In this demo, we'll explore a practical solution using a Bash script to resolve this circular dependency. This approach simplifies Terraform state management and efficiently handles AWS resources for the remote backend.

🧩 The Solution: A Bash-Powered Workflow:
1. Use a Bash script to create AWS backend resources quickly.
2. Define AWS backend resources within your Terraform configuration.
3. Execute the script before configuring Terraform's backend.
4. Initialise Terraform to use these resources for seamless state management.
