Using the Moved Block in Terraform 1.1

Read Original

This technical tutorial details the purpose and use cases for the new 'moved' configuration block in Terraform 1.1. It explains how this feature allows developers to rename resources, move them into modules, or use loops during code refactoring, preventing Terraform from incorrectly planning to destroy and recreate existing infrastructure. The article includes practical examples, such as moving AWS VPC resources into a module, and contrasts the new declarative approach with the older, riskier 'terraform state mv' command.
