Rename Terraform Attribute

Overview

A user may ask you to rename a Terraform attribute. A Terraform attribute has a name and a schema representing the types of data the attribute can contain. Renaming a Terraform attribute keeps the original attribute and creates a new attribute with the same schema, introducing a deprecation period so the user can migrate from the old attribute to the new attribute.

Workflow

Use the "Determine Attribute Schema" section.
