- Removed usage of `apt-key` which is deprecated and replaced by `gpg` command
- Removed usage of `curl` command which is not present by default on Debian systems
Hyphen characters are allowed in environment variable names, but are not valid POSIX variable names. Usually, it's still possible to set variable names with hyphens using utilities like env or docker. But, as a fallback, host names may encode their hyphens as double underscores in the variable name. For the example "café.fr", the variable name "TF_TOKEN_xn____caf__dma_fr" or "TF_TOKEN_xn--caf-dma_fr"
may be used.
Introduces a new method of configuring token service credentials using a host-specific environment variable. This configuration was previously possible using the [terraform-credentials-env](https://github.com/apparentlymart/terraform-credentials-env) credentials helper.
This new method is now consulted first, as it is seen to be the most proximate source of credentials before CLI configuration while still falling back to the credentials helper.
Previously the "terraform state ..." subcommands were the only way to
perform various manipulations of the state, but in recent Terraform
versions we have replaced these with better options.
Since these pages seem to already have pretty good search engine
optimization for the use-cases they are describing, we'll prioritize
mentioning the new approaches and only mention the now-deprecated or
de-emphasized features as a secondary approach.
Specifically:
- Describe the -replace=... planning option in preference to
"terraform taint", and present taint as primarily a mechanism for
Terraform to use itself, as opposed to something end-users should
typically use directly.
- Introduce the config-based refactoring features before describing
"terraform state mv".
The older features here are still applicable in some situations and are
required for those still using older versions of Terraform, so we will
retain the information about them for now while aiming to be clearer in
each case about which is our preferred, modern approach.
Provider is not misled into thinking. Terraform may be misled into thinking that all of the managed objects have been deleted . So, Terraform removes all of the tracked objects from the state file.
