Moving Resources in Terraform State

Terraform keeps it's view of the world in a state data, but what if you need to make changes to your configuration without impacting the real-world resources? Enter the mighty 'terraform state mv' command enabling you to do wonderous things like:

• Change the address of a      resource in your config
• Move resources into a module
• Move resources into a new      state file and config
