Workarounds

  1. 95% success Create the S3 bucket manually with the correct name and region: `aws s3api create-bucket --bucket my-terraform-state --region us-east-1 --create-bucket-configuration LocationConstraint=us-east-1` 
    Create the S3 bucket manually with the correct name and region: `aws s3api create-bucket --bucket my-terraform-state --region us-east-1 --create-bucket-configuration LocationConstraint=us-east-1`
  2. 90% success Update the backend configuration to point to an existing bucket, then run 'terraform init -reconfigure' 
    Update the backend configuration to point to an existing bucket, then run 'terraform init -reconfigure'

中文步骤

  1. Create the S3 bucket manually with the correct name and region: `aws s3api create-bucket --bucket my-terraform-state --region us-east-1 --create-bucket-configuration LocationConstraint=us-east-1`
  2. Update the backend configuration to point to an existing bucket, then run 'terraform init -reconfigure'

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Run 'terraform init' with -migrate-state flag 95% fail

    The bucket still doesn't exist; migrate requires an existing bucket.

  2. Change the bucket name in the backend block to a random new name 80% fail

    The new bucket also doesn't exist unless created manually.

  3. Use local backend by removing the backend block 70% fail

    This changes the state location and may lose remote state history.
