Description

This walkthrough tutorial provides a step by step instruction on how to move your Terraform state locking from DynamoDB to S3.

The presence of DynamoDB for Terraform state locking has been an issue for Terraform users, having to maintain an extra component; the DynamoDB table. Terraform has recently released, in version 1.10, the S3 native state locking feature.

With this tutorial, you will be able to safely move your Terraform state locking mechanism from DynamoDB to S3, and remove your DynamoDB resource for good.
