hello, i have done the state locking but in the console it is only showing release locks and in the dynamo db table it is showing the items , pleasse can you tell the issue

[@ajitinamdartech]

Hi Utkarsh,
Can you elaborate more on the issue?

[@utkarshpatel7839]

@@ajitinamdartech like when i am doing terraform plan so like in normal it shows acquiring locks and in the end show releasing locks but in my case in starting it is not showing acquiring lock but in the end it is showing releasing locks

[@vladeb1104]

in my case i've had to provide the access key for backend init: terraform init -backend-config="access_key=" -backend-config="secret_key="

[@ajitinamdartech]

Did you configure aws credentials on your local machine. If yes, this was not required.

[@samtx]

Maybe for running in gitlab click button terraform?

[@rahuljinde7416]

Pease make a video for understanding the basic of Terraform.

[@ajitinamdartech]

Sure Rahul. I have planned for more videos on Terraform.

[@swapnapaleti6612]

Hi, I've three terraform state files as we are creating them module wise. Is there a way to store them in different paths rather than using workspaces?

[@ajitinamdartech]

I don't know whether I understand your question correctly, but I keep my state files in S3 in different paths for individual projects / environments.

[@harishdevarapalli1537]

Hi all,
I have 4 envionmnets dev,testing,non prod and prod.
how to manage my state files using s3 and dynamodb?
do i need to create new s3 and dynamodb for every environment?
what are the charges for using dynamodb?

[@ayyappahemanth7134]

Maybe try workspaces

[@ajitinamdartech]

Hi Harish,
You can use the same S3 and DynamoDB for all environments. However if you want a tighter control over your state files, you may separate the dynamodb and s3 bucket if required.
