Question 264

Which of these is not a benefit of remote state?

    Correct Answer: B

    Remote state in Terraform provides several benefits including keeping unencrypted sensitive information off disk, enabling collaboration when working in a team, and facilitating the delegation of output to other teams. However, sharing reusable code modules is not a benefit of remote state. Sharing reusable code modules is typically managed by module registries, which provide a central location to store, version, and distribute reusable configurations. Therefore, sharing reusable code modules does not pertain to the functionalities offered by remote state.

Discussion
BaburTurkOption: D

The answer is D. Delegate output to other teams. Remote state is a feature of Terraform that allows you to store the state of your infrastructure in a remote location. This can be beneficial for a number of reasons, including: Keeping unencrypted sensitive information off disk Easily sharing reusable code modules Working in a team Enabling version control and auditing However, remote state does not allow you to delegate output to other teams. This is because the state file contains the full state of your infrastructure, including all of the resources that have been created. If you want to delegate output to other teams, you will need to use a different mechanism, such as a configuration management tool or a messaging system.

I would appreciate comments on my thoughts: this would be a case of choose 2 right? A is also not a benefit, right?

RonZhongOption: B

Remote state wasn't made for sharing modules because that's module registry's job. :)

AWS_cert2023Option: B

The answer B. https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/state/remote With remote state, Terraform writes the state data to a remote data store, which can then be shared between all members of a team. Remote state allows you to share output values with other configurations. For fully-featured remote backends, Terraform can also use state locking to prevent concurrent runs of Terraform against the same state.

The question states "which is NOT a benefit"

uaxOption: B

It's B. Like another person mentioned, sharing reusable code modules is the module registry's job. https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/state/remote

Why not A

Saw this on another test engine,, worded slightly different. "The Terraform State file does not contain the actual module code"
