Terraform
terraform state replace-provider command
The terraform state replace-provider
command replaces the provider
for resources in a Terraform state.
Usage
Usage: terraform state replace-provider [options] FROM_PROVIDER_FQN TO_PROVIDER_FQN
This command will update all resources using the "from" provider, setting the provider to the specified "to" provider. This allows changing the source of a provider which currently has resources in state.
This command will output a backup copy of the state prior to saving any changes. The backup cannot be disabled. Due to the destructive nature of this command, backups are required.
This command also accepts the following options:
-auto-approve
- Skip interactive approval.-lock=false
- Don't hold a state lock during the operation. This is dangerous if others might concurrently run commands against the same workspace.-lock-timeout=0s
- Duration to retry a state lock.
For configurations using the HCP Terraform CLI integration or the remote
backend
only, terraform state replace-provider
also accepts the option
-ignore-remote-version
.
For configurations using
the local
state only,
terraform state replace-provider
also accepts the legacy options
-state
, -state-out
, and -backup
.
Example
The example below replaces the hashicorp/aws
provider with a fork by acme
, hosted at a private registry at registry.acme.corp
:
$ terraform state replace-provider hashicorp/aws registry.acme.corp/acme/aws
