A company has been using Terraform with local state for months. The team is growing and multiple engineers now run terraform apply against the same configuration from their laptops.

Run terraform init -migrate-state, then terraform plan, then terraform apply

Run terraform apply -migrate-state, then terraform init

Run terraform init -reconfigure, then terraform state push
