Which two steps are required to provision new infrastructure in the Terraform workflow? (Choose two.)
To provision new infrastructure in the Terraform workflow, the two required steps are Plan and Apply. The Plan step involves generating an execution plan, showing what actions Terraform will take to achieve the desired state defined in the configuration. The Apply step is used to execute the actions proposed in the plan to create or update the infrastructure. Although Init is an essential step to set up the working directory, it is not directly involved in the provisioning of infrastructure. Therefore, the two steps specifically required for provisioning are Plan and Apply.
Plan is recommended but not a requirement, whereas init is mandatory and apply is necessary to provision infrastructure.
A. Plan and B. Apply https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/intro/core-workflow
I agree with this.
BD, plan is not a requeriment.
I believe in should be B & D
First init and then apply
BD is correct
people voting for A, seriously !!
https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/intro/core-workflow The core Terraform workflow has three steps: Write - Author infrastructure as code. Plan - Preview changes before applying. Apply - Provision reproducible infrastructure.
You do not need to use "plan" indepently since "apply" automatically runs plan as well. You can test it yourself by writing a configuration, running "init" and then "apply".
BD is correct. The apply will automatically execute the Plan, so A is not explicitly required.
