Question 278

terraform validate confirms that your infrastructure matches the Terraform state file.

    Correct Answer: B

    The statement is false. The 'terraform validate' command in Terraform checks whether the configuration files are syntactically and structurally correct. It does not confirm that your infrastructure matches the Terraform state file. To verify if the infrastructure matches the state file, you would typically use the 'terraform plan' command, which shows the difference between the configuration and the current state of infrastructure.

Pete987Option: B

B. False The statement is not accurate. terraform validate is a command in Terraform that checks whether the configuration files are syntactically and structurally correct. It validates the configuration syntax and structure but does not confirm that your infrastructure matches the Terraform state file. To confirm that your infrastructure matches the Terraform state file, you would typically use commands like terraform plan to compare the current state of your configuration with the state recorded in the Terraform state file. This helps you understand the differences between the desired configuration and the actual infrastructure that Terraform is managing.
