Description
Current Terraform Version
v0.11.14 and v0.12.12
Use-cases
Similarly to #20328, it would be awesome to be able to handle terraform state files in a compressed way (while storing or retrieving it from the remote backend). In some cases this can save tons of MBs per execution, increasing speed (by reducing the number of transferred bytes) and reducing costs (bandwidth). Especially in large projects.
Proposal
terraform {
backend "gcs" {
bucket = "my-bucket"
prefix = "terraform/state"
compression = true
}
}
