中文步骤

  1. 将本地 Terraform 升级到至少 v1.7，从 https://www.terraform.io/downloads 下载或使用 tfenv 版本管理器。然后运行 terraform init。
  2. 如果必须使用 v1.6，从升级前的状态备份中恢复。检查后端是否有自动版本管理（例如 S3 版本控制）。
  3. 使用 Terraform Cloud 或 Terraform Enterprise 的状态管理功能自动处理版本转换。

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 95% fail

    The state file itself is the problem, not the backend configuration. Reinit doesn't downgrade state.

  2. 85% fail

    State files are complex and interdependent. Manual edits often corrupt the state, causing irreversible damage.

  3. 70% fail

    Only the exact version or later that created the state can read it. Jumping to a different version may still fail.
