Attempted Solutions

Hi there,

We want to add a new backend ks3 that terraform can store state remotely in KingsoftCloud Ks3 with locking.

About KingsoftCloud

Kingsoft Cloud provides a stable, safe and efficient cloud compute service. It is the well-known Cloud Provider in China.

About KingsoftCloud Ks3

Kingsoft Cloud Standard Storage Service (KS3) is a highly secure and reliable distributed cloud storage service that provides large storage capacity at a low cost.

Proposal

However, I learned from Contributing File that can`t merge PRs with a new backend. And, now, is it still valid? Perhaps, is there another way to help me to add the new backend? Thanks! 😄

Hi @crw , it's been a few weeks since this PR submission, any new news? I'm looking forward to your reply and thanks.

No update right now. I apologize, I should have previously linked to our Contributing.md document, specifically:

The Terraform team is not merging PRs for new state storage backends. Our priority regarding state storage backends is to find maintainers for existing backends and remove those backends without maintainers.

This is the starting point for backends right now. If Kingsoft had a partner relationship with HashiCorp, this would be something they could discuss and possibly we would support it.

I will let you know if this changes in the future. Thanks!

How can we establish a partner relationship with HashiCorp?
