Common Mistakes

Using incorrect keys like 'encryption' or 'encrypted' which are not recognized.

Misspelling the key.

The correct key to enable server-side encryption for the S3 backend is encrypt.

Fill both blanks to configure the DynamoDB table for state locking and specify the key name.

Terraform

terraform {
  backend "s3" {
    bucket         = "my-terraform-state-bucket"
    region         = "us-west-2"
    encrypt        = true
    dynamodb_table = "[1]"
    [2]    = "LockID"
  }

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong attribute names like 'lock_table' or 'lock_key'.

Confusing the key name with the table name.

The dynamodb_table attribute specifies the DynamoDB table name used for state locking.

The key attribute defines the name of the lock item key in the table, usually 'LockID'.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to complete the S3 backend configuration with bucket, region, and encrypt enabled.

Terraform

terraform {
  backend "s3" {
    bucket  = "[1]"
    region  = "[2]"
    encrypt = [3]
  }
}
