Managing Bedrock State

The Terraform state for blueprints is maintained in an AWS S3 bucket.

Migrating blueprints

Occasionally you may have a need to migrate existing state to a new blueprint key. The following instructions demonstrate how to do this:

  1. Ensure the old blueprint state is locally updated:

    $  blueprint <old_blueprint_id> [-t <old_blueprint_tag>]

  2. Rename the blueprint state on the filesystem:

    $ mv ~/.bedrock/<old_blueprint_id>/<old_blueprint_tag> ~/.bedrock/<new_blueprint_id>/<new_blueprint_tag>

  3. Initialise the new blueprint state using Terraform -force-copy option:

    $ TF_ARGS=-force-copy blueprint <new_blueprint_id> [-t <new_blueprint_tag>]

NOTE: If you don't provide a blueprint tag the default tag will be the same as the blueprint id.
