You have never used Terraform before and would like to test it out using a shared team account for a cloud provider. The shared team account already contains 15 virtual machines (VM). You develop a Terraform configuration containing one VM, perform terraform apply, and see that your VM was created successfully. What should you do to delete the newly-created VM with Terraform?
The correct answer is B. Option B: The Terraform state file only contains the one new VM. Execute terraform destroy.
Explanation
terraform destroy removes infrastructure managed by the current Terraform configuration and state. terraform state subcommands inspect and safely modify resource bindings recorded in state. Terraform state maps resource addresses to remote objects and stores metadata needed to calculate changes efficiently.
It is ____________ to change the Terraform backend from the default “local” backend to a different one after performing your first terraform apply.
The correct answer is C. Option C: optional

The correct answer is A. Option A: True
What is terraform refresh intended to detect?
The correct answer is C. Option C: State file drift
Explanation
Terraform state maps resource addresses to remote objects and stores metadata needed to calculate changes efficiently. Infrastructure drift occurs when remote objects change outside Terraform so their real attributes differ from configuration and state.
Which parameters does terraform import require? (Choose two.)
