language	Backend Type: etcdv3	docs-backends-types-standard-etcdv3	Terraform can store state remotely in etcd 3.x.

etcdv3

Stores the state in the etcd KV store with a given prefix.

This backend supports state locking.

Example Configuration

terraform {
  backend "etcdv3" {
    endpoints = ["etcd-1:2379", "etcd-2:2379", "etcd-3:2379"]
    lock      = true
    prefix    = "terraform-state/"
  }
}

Note that for the access credentials we recommend using a partial configuration.

Data Source Configuration

data "terraform_remote_state" "foo" {
  backend = "etcdv3"
  config = {
    endpoints = ["etcd-1:2379", "etcd-2:2379", "etcd-3:2379"]
    lock      = true
    prefix    = "terraform-state/"
  }
}

Configuration variables

The following configuration options / environment variables are supported:

• endpoints - (Required) The list of 'etcd' endpoints which to connect to.
• username / ETCDV3_USERNAME - (Optional) Username used to connect to the etcd cluster.
• password / ETCDV3_PASSWORD - (Optional) Password used to connect to the etcd cluster.
• prefix - (Optional) An optional prefix to be added to keys when to storing state in etcd. Defaults to "".
• lock - (Optional) Whether to lock state access. Defaults to true.
• cacert_path - (Optional) The path to a PEM-encoded CA bundle with which to verify certificates of TLS-enabled etcd servers.
• cert_path - (Optional) The path to a PEM-encoded certificate to provide to etcd for secure client identification.
• key_path - (Optional) The path to a PEM-encoded key to provide to etcd for secure client identification.
• max_request_bytes - (Optional) The max request size to send to etcd. This can be increased to enable storage of larger state. You must set the corresponding server-side flag --max-request-bytes as well and the value should be less than the client setting. Defaults to 2097152 (2.0 MiB). Please Note: Increasing etcd's request size limit may negatively impact overall latency.
