Hi all, My name is Korinne, and I’m a Product Manager for Terraform :wave: We’re currently working on a project that will allow users to more easily refactor their Terraform modules and configurations, set to be generally available in Terraform v1.1. From a high-level, the goal is to use moved sta…

Hi Korinne and all. I’m an author of tfmigrate which is a third-party tool for state migration inspired by database migration. I’m glad to hear that the Terraform core team is working on the refactoring feature. I believe that it’s a missing piece for Terraform. I played with an alpha build and co…

Thank you for this very thoughtful feedback. I’m glad you found this first implementation useful, and appreciate the time you took to try this out. The use-cases around refactoring directory structure are something we are actively discussing, as we know it’s a sticking point for Practitioners. It’s…

Other than to say I’m stoked on moved com…

Thanks for the alpha feedback, everyone! Now that v1.1.0-beta1 is out we’re switching into general prerelease feedback mode, and so I’m going to lock this topic. We’d still love to hear any feedback you have about this feature if you try it during the beta period, but please now send that feedback …
