Migrate Terraform state between providers
Terraform has many providers which support deploying resources into AWS. 2 of such providers are the Terraform AWS Provider and Terraform AWSCC Provider. Practitioners may find updating and keeping up with 2 providers challenging and may want to migrate their state to use only a single provider. This session guides practitioners on how they can migrate state between providers without destroying the resources managed by the state. This gives practitioners the flexibility to also build resource supported in one provider and eventually move those resources to the other provider.
Testing for backward compatibility when developing Terraform AWS Provider resources
When working on building support for new resource arguments in the Terraform AWS Provider, there are situations when we need to deprecate certain arguments while ensuring backward compatibility. This lightning talk goes through a live case study illustrating this scenario in the following pull request: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/pull/31035. This gives practitioners confidence that their existing code remains functional while giving them a path to migrate to the latest arguments.
