Remove backend definition in terraform root module #311
Description
Description
Context
This repository provides a Terraform module, not a root infrastructure project.
Currently, the repository contains a backend.tf file defining a Terraform backend configuration. However, backend configuration is not appropriate inside a reusable module.
Problem
Terraform backends are:
- Defined at the root module level
- Specific to a consumer’s environment
- Tightly coupled to an organization’s state management strategy
By including backend.tf in this module:
- We impose a backend choice on users
- We reduce flexibility for consumers
- We mix module logic with infrastructure state configuration
- We potentially create conflicts when the module is consumed inside another root module
A Terraform module should remain backend-agnostic.
Tasks
- Remove backend.tf from this repository
