#terraform-tool

Guys... do you know whether is possible or not to tag or name the aws_network_acl resource ?

I cannot find that in the documentation. I have tried a couple of time using the name variable but it fails

ah!! with tags { Name = "name" }

ok.. thanks guys... written there for the record

hi guys

jeevan_ullas: hi

the aws provider seems to be using aws sdk for go. if we have some changes in aws sdk for go, how do i make sure it picks up those changes ?

nvm. got it going. trick was to not download aws-sdk-go on every build but use the local fork

in the aws provider why are we trying to validate the region in locally? https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/mas...

can't we just use the sdk to do that for us?

hi jeevan_ullas - i bet we can now. that's probably code left over from our goamz days.

thanks phinze

Hello terraform team!

Each terraform versions comes with more and more features but lots of changes in code structure/calls.

Is there any benefits to store version used to push the last apply in tfstate?

because applying configuration between differents versions of terraform (ie : 3.7 and 4.2) can be dangerous

hi Zool_ - good question! there are two parts to consider: the state and the config

for the state, we do support something called "state migration" that allows provider authors to version the state of their resource, and convert any old copies they find.

for the config, we support both deprecation warnings and errors, which allows provider authors to inform the user about old config.

state file migration has to be triggered? or is it running automagically in background?

these features are relatively young, but they're in and we'll continue to improve them. the key from a user standpoint is to remember that with a statefile backup, you can always safely run `terraform plan` using a new version of TF and it will tell you exactly what it wants to do

state file migration runs automatically in the background - if you enable debug logging with TF_LOG=1 and you run terraform on an old statefile you'll see messages like `Found Schema Version X, Migrating to version Y`

Ok phinze thank you, I better understand how it is working now :)

no prob - you're welcome :)

glorious morning: deploying our new AWS stacks using terraform
