+## Alternative: Store Terraform State in Scaleway Object Storage (Without Locking)
+
+[Scaleway object storage](https://www.scaleway.com/en/object-storage/) can be used to store your Terraform state.
+However, this backend does not support state locking, which is critical when multiple users or automated processes might access the same state concurrently.
+Configure your backend as:
+
+```
+terraform {
+  backend "s3" {
+    bucket                      = "terraform-state"
+    key                         = "my_state.tfstate"
+    region                      = "fr-par"
+    endpoint                    = "https://s3.fr-par.scw.cloud"
+    access_key                  = "my-access-key"
+    secret_key                  = "my-secret-key"
+    skip_credentials_validation = true
+    force_path_style            = true
+    skip_region_validation = true
+    # Need terraform>=1.6.1
+    skip_requesting_account_id  = true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Warning: This backend does not offer locking. If you're working in a team or running Terraform in CI/CD pipelines, using object storage without locking can lead to state corruption.
+
+### Securing credentials
+
+To avoid hardcoding secrets in your Terraform configuration, use one of the following secure methods:
+
+#### Environment Variables
+
+Set the credentials in your shell environment using the AWS-compatible variable names:
+
+```shell
+export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$SCW_ACCESS_KEY
+export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$SCW_SECRET_KEY
+```
+
+This approach is simple and works well for scripts, local development, and CI pipelines.
+
+#### AWS Credentials Files
+
+Store your credentials in:
+
+- `~/.aws/credentials` – for secrets
+- `~/.aws/config` – for configuration like profiles or regions
+
+Example ~/.aws/credentials file:
+
+```
+[default]
+aws_access_key_id = YOUR_SCW_ACCESS_KEY
+aws_secret_access_key = YOUR_SCW_SECRET_KEY
+```
+
+This method is ideal for managing multiple profiles or persisting configuration across sessions.
+
+Both methods are compatible with Terraform’s S3 backend, which also works with Scaleway Object Storage.
+
+For full details, see the official [Terraform S3 backend documentation](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/backend/s3#access_key)
+
+For example configuration files, refer to the [Object Storage documentation](https://www.scaleway.com/en/docs/object-storage/api-cli/object-storage-aws-cli/)

-Be careful as no locking mechanism are yet supported.
-Using scaleway object storage as terraform backend is not suitable if you work in a team with a risk of simultaneous access to the same plan.
-
-Note: For security reason it's not recommended to store secrets in terraform files.
-If you want to configure the backend with environment var, you need to use `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` [source](https://www.terraform.io/docs/backends/types/s3.html#access_key).
-
-```bash
-export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$SCW_ACCESS_KEY
