new

Migrate existing AWS workloads to Hive using compatible APIs, SDKs, and Terraform.

migrationawsterraform

Overview

Hive provides drop-in compatibility with AWS APIs, making it possible to migrate existing workloads with minimal changes.

Supported Services: VPC, EC2, EBS, S3, IAM

Compatible Tools: AWS CLI, AWS SDKs, Terraform, any S3-compatible client

Instructions

Configure AWS CLI

bash

export AWS_PROFILE=hive
aws ec2 describe-instances
aws s3 ls

Terraform

hcl

provider "aws" {
  region     = "ap-southeast-2"
  access_key = "your-hive-access-key"
  secret_key = "your-hive-secret-key"

  endpoints {
    ec2 = "https://localhost:9999"
    s3  = "https://localhost:8443"
  }

  skip_credentials_validation = true
  skip_metadata_api_check     = true
  skip_requesting_account_id  = true
}

Hybrid S3 Sync

bash

aws s3 sync s3://local-bucket/ s3://cloud-bucket/ --source-region hive --region us-east-1

Troubleshooting

Terraform provider errors

Ensure all three skip flags are set in your provider configuration:

hcl

skip_credentials_validation = true
skip_metadata_api_check     = true
skip_requesting_account_id  = true

Without these, Terraform will try to validate credentials and metadata against real AWS endpoints.

S3 signature errors

Hive uses AWS Signature V4. Ensure your AWS CLI is version 2.0 or higher:

bash

aws --version

If using an older version, upgrade:

bash

curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"
unzip awscliv2.zip
sudo ./aws/install --update
