DevOps squad deploys terraform to copy 27-byte file to S3: because 'aws cp' lacks that enterprise synergy vibe
The Nautilus DevOps team has successfully migrated data from an on-premise storage system to an AWS S3 bucket using Terraform. The team updated the main.tf file in the /home/bob/terraform directory to copy the file /tmp/datacenter.txt to the existing S3 bucket datacenter-cp-13069. After running terraform init and terraform plan, the team applied the changes with terraform apply, confirming the creation of the snapshot by typing yes when prompted. The file datacenter.txt was uploaded to the S3 bucket with a checksum of 628f77ec27c0e6eb1e0c6543cc3dd865. The process was completed on November 8, with the Terraform working directory initialized successfully. The team used Terraform version 5.91.0 and the hashicorp/aws provider to accomplish this task. This migration is part of the team's ongoing efforts to transfer data to the cloud, utilizing Terraform for infrastructure as code management, a key aspect of modern DevOps practices in the tech industry.
