Terraform state file corruption during remote backend migration
I'm trying to implement Could someone explain I'm currently migrating my Terraform configuration from a local backend to an S3 remote backend, but I'm working with some issues with the state file. After running `terraform init` with the new backend configuration, I received an behavior that states: `behavior: Failed to read the existing state: AccessDenied: Access Denied`. I have already ensured that my IAM user has the necessary permissions for both S3 and DynamoDB (for state locking). Here's the configuration snippet I used for the backend: ```hcl terraform { backend "s3" { bucket = "my-terraform-state-bucket" key = "terraform/state.tfstate" region = "us-west-2" dynamodb_table = "terraform-locks" } } ``` I have verified that the bucket and DynamoDB table exist, and I can access them through the AWS Console. To troubleshoot, I confirmed the IAM policy attached to the user looks like this: ```json { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:GetObject", "s3:PutObject", "s3:ListBucket" ], "Resource": [ "arn:aws:s3:::my-terraform-state-bucket", "arn:aws:s3:::my-terraform-state-bucket/*" ] }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "dynamodb:PutItem", "dynamodb:GetItem", "dynamodb:DeleteItem", "dynamodb:Scan" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:dynamodb:us-west-2:123456789012:table/terraform-locks" } ] } ``` Additionally, I ran `terraform workspace list` and noticed that the `default` workspace is not being recognized after the migration. Is there something specific I might be missing in my configuration or permissions that could lead to these errors? I would also like to understand how to properly handle state file migration to avoid corruption or data loss. Any insights would be greatly appreciated! I'm coming from a different tech stack and learning Hcl. Could this be a known issue? Any examples would be super helpful.
