:question: When using an S3 bucket for remote state, is it possible to move that remote state to a different S3 bucket / path, or does it need to be torn down and recreated in the new location?

With care, you can move it. You can update the `backend` property in your project YAML and manually copy the object tree at the same time.

Cool, that’s what I suspected. The backend state path isn’t anywhere except in the Pulumi.yaml file?

There's a default value for it stored in a config file in ~/.pulumi somewhere, but that's only used (afaik) when creating new projects.

Other than that, no, it's not stored anywhere.
