Combining two existing Terraform states as modules
up vote

Right now I have a Terraform project consisting of multiple directories:
root
|- stack
|- applications
|- app1
|- app2
|- app3
Stackcontains all of the common dependencies for the apps.
app1,app2, andapp3use remote state to refer tostackresources.- I currently have to run
terraform applyin each of the four directories separately with separate.tfvars. (This was originally by design.)
I would like to refactor this project with a single .tf file in the root directory and the stack/app* directories as modules. I know how to do that just fine from a TF standpoint, but since this project is already deployed in two different environments, I'm trying to figure out the best way to migrate my existing stack/app* resources into a new combined state file or at least automate all the terraform import commands I'm going to need to run.
Any ideas?

I wonder if hand-hacking the various state files is the best approach here.
