Hey,

It has come to our attention that Terraform has recently added deprecation messages to a number of backends, including Swift[0], warning that these backends will be removed in a future version of Terraform. Unfortunately we don't have the bandwidth within Catalyst Cloud to pick this up, but I was hopeful that there'd be others on this list who share our concern.

It looks as though Terraform has had the Swift backend marked as unmaintained since at least March 2020[1].

If there is another backend, or another method of managing Swift that isn't the S3 API then I'd be keen to hear about it.

Kind regards,

Andrew
