Replacement for (now deprecated) Swift Backend?

Warning: Warning: "swift" backend is deprecated, and will be removed in a future release."

The Swift backend is deprecated (Backend Type: swift | Terraform by HashiCorp). Before it’s removed from TF entirely, I’d like to migrate to something else. What replaces Swift?

If it matters, I’m working against OVH Cloud, which is broadly Openstack based. I’ve been using their storage buckets for remote TF state up to now (Using OVHcloud Standard (Swift) Object Storage as Terraform Backend to store your Terraform state | OVH Guides). I think I’m pretty standard here, what do other Openstack folks do?

Hi @ralph.bolton, I’ve seen this come up a few times in issue comments (although I am not a OVH user myself). Most users tend to switch to the S3 backend.

Ex.:

The guide you linked has also been updated to recommend using the S3 backend (see: Using OVHcloud Standard (Swift) Object Storage as Terraform Backend to store your Terraform state | OVH Guides)

Hope this helps!
