Terraform state file save in S3

[khilawar4]

problem statement Currently we are saving terraform state file in local , we want the feature to start uploading to S3 for better managing these state files.

Describe the solution you'd like let's use S3 plugin or other better solution to start managing terraform files in S3 instead of local.

• create a file in git repo : config.hcl

  bucket = "my-s3-bucket-name"
  key = "my_s3_path/file_name.tfstate"
  region = "us-west-2"

• Add below to the top of main.tf in all the places where the .tf plan file needs to be saved in S3 backend.

  provider "aws" { region = "${var.region}"}
  terraform { backend "s3" {}}

• Run below command before running terraform plan

  terraform init -backend-config=./env/prd/config.hcl
