Can this skill help me migrate from local state to remote state?

Yes, it includes commands and HCL configurations for defining remote backends and executing 'terraform state push' to migrate local state files securely.

How do I import existing resources using this skill?

It provides the specific syntax for 'terraform import', allowing you to bring existing cloud resources under Terraform control by mapping their physical IDs to your HCL configuration.

Is state encryption covered by this skill?

Absolutely. The skill emphasizes best practices for encrypting state files at rest using KMS keys or native backend encryption features to protect sensitive resource metadata.

How does this skill handle concurrent state modifications?

It provides patterns for implementing state locking using backends like S3 with DynamoDB or Azure Blob Storage to prevent multiple users from applying changes simultaneously.
