Proposed Changes
After research, I've found https://github.com/trussworks/terraform-aws-bootstrap to be the easiest solution for bootstrapping Terraform projects. Using this module, we can add the bootstrap infrastructure to the repo and manage it going forward.
How it works
The bootstrap module has a local backend. We need to first apply the bootstrap module to generate the resources like S3 bucket, DynamoDB table etc.
These resources can then be used in the backend of main Terraform project.
✅ Add bootstrap project
✅ Updated
README.md
with new setup instructions for Terraform project✅ Added the bootstrap state to the repo. This makes sure the terraform project is good to go without bootstrapping (if using default aliases and prefix)
