You have provisioned some virtual machines (VMs) on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using the gcloud command line tool. However, you are standardizing with
Terraform and want to manage these VMs using Terraform instead.
What are the two things you must do to achieve this? (Choose two.)
To manage existing VMs on Google Cloud Platform using Terraform, you need to follow two crucial steps. First, you should use the 'terraform import' command to import the existing VMs into Terraform's state file. This step allows Terraform to recognize and manage those resources. Second, you must write Terraform configuration that describes the current state of these VMs. This configuration allows Terraform to maintain and update the VMs as needed in the future. Provisioning new VMs with the same names would create duplicates and potential conflicts, and there is no 'terraform import-gcp' command in Terraform.
BC for sure
You should create the equivalent configuration first, and then run import to load it on the state file.
BC are the correct options: B. Use the terraform import command for the existing VMs. This command allows you to import existing infrastructure into your Terraform state file so that Terraform can manage it. You will need to provide the resource type and name, along with any required attributes, for each VM you want to import. C. Write Terraform configuration for the existing VMs. Once the VMs have been imported into the Terraform state file, you will need to write configuration code that describes the desired state of the VMs. This will typically involve creating a new Terraform module or modifying an existing one to include the imported resources. Option A is incorrect because provisioning new VMs with the same names would create duplicate resources and could cause conflicts with the existing VMs. Option D is also incorrect because there is no terraform import-gcp command in Terraform. The correct command for importing GCP resources is simply terraform import.
There are two ways to manage existing resource using Terraform You can use 'terraform import' or you can use the import block So answers are: B. Use the terraform import command for the existing VMs Most Voted C. Write Terraform configuration for the existing VMs https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/import/usage https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/import
there is no 'import-gcp' in terraform official doc

B. Use the terraform import command for the existing VMs C. Write Terraform configuration for the existing VMs
i choose BC
B&C are correct
there is no 'import-gcp' in terraform official doc
i choose BC
BC are the correct answers here
Write configuration and import.
B.True C. True
BC is correct https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/tutorials/state/state-import
B,C - first write the configuration and then import
Write configuration then import the existing infrastructure.
