This makes it match some incoming links we have elsewhere, but also it
makes the heading a bit more consice because "module" isn't really adding
anything here anyway: input variables are _always_ in modules.
We late-reorganized this into the "Module Development" subsection, but
forgot to update the actual link in the navbar, so it was still linking
to its old location.
Since this is only a minor release there isn't any super-significant
upgrade guide content this time, but I've used this page to elaborate on
some of the upgrade notes already recorded in the Terraform Changelog, to
give additional context if needed to the hopefully-small number of users
that these changes will directly effect during upgrading.
As explained in the changes: The 'enhanced' backend terminology, which
only truly pertains to the 'remote' backend with a single API (Terraform
Cloud/Enterprise's), has been found to be a confusing vestige which need
only be explained in the context of the 'remote' backend.
These changes reorient the explanation(s) of backends to pertain more
directly to their primary purpose, which is storage of state snapshots
(and not implementing operations).
That Terraform operations are still _implemented_ by the literal
`Backend` and `Enhanced` interfaces is inconsequential a user of
Terraform, an internal detail.
Apologies for not creating an issue first but it seemed like a simple docs change.
`apt install terraform` requires the `apt update` before terraform can be installed.
Some function errors include values derived from arguments. This commit
is the result of a manual audit of these errors, which resulted in:
- Adding a helper function to redact sensitive values;
- Applying that helper function where errors include values derived from
possibly-sensitive arguments;
- Cleaning up other errors which need not include those values, or were
otherwise incorrect.
When migrating from an explicit local backend to Terraform Cloud, we ask
if you want to migrate the state. If there is no state to migrate we
should not ask if they want to migrate the emptiness.
When going from a local backend to Terraform Cloud, if you skip the
`terraform init` and run `terraform apply` this will give the user more
clear instructions.
