Common Mistakes

Using incorrect or missing DynamoDB table names.

Using invalid keys that do not end with ".tfstate".

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Setting encrypt to false when encryption is needed.

Using incorrect profile names.

Using keys that do not end with ".tfstate".

Encryption should be enabled with true. The AWS profile is often "default" unless you use a named profile. The key is the state file path.
