Question 266

A developer accidentally launched a VM (virtual machine) outside of the Terraform workflow and ended up with two servers with the same name. They don’t know which VM Terraform manages but do have a list of all active VM IDs.

Which of the following methods could you use to discover which instance Terraform manages?

Run terraform taint/code on all the VMs to recreate them

Update the code to include outputs for the ID of all VMs, then run terraform plan to view the outputs

Run terraform state list to find the names of all VMs, then run terraform state show for each of them to find which VM ID Terraform manages

Use terraform refresh/code to find out which IDs are already part of state

Correct Answer: C

The correct method to discover which instance Terraform manages is to run terraform state list to find the names of all VMs managed by Terraform. Then, for each VM name, run terraform state show to get detailed information, including the VM IDs. This process directly links the VM names managed by Terraform with their corresponding IDs, allowing you to identify the VM that is being managed by Terraform.
