C. Audit logging is not included in Terraform Cloud's free tier.

Terraform Cloud is a hosted service for Terraform that provides remote state management, a private module registry, and collaboration features such as workspaces and version control integration. However, audit logging is not included in the free tier.

Audit logging allows you to track user activity in Terraform Cloud, including changes made to workspaces, modules, and variables. It provides a detailed audit trail that can help you troubleshoot issues, monitor security, and meet compliance requirements.

Audit logging is available in Terraform Cloud's paid tiers, which provide additional features and support options. If you require audit logging or other advanced features, you can upgrade to a paid tier or consider using Terraform Enterprise, which provides additional enterprise-grade features and support.

Audit logging only supported for terraform cloud business. Not even supported in terraform enterprise. I assume not supported in free plan as well.

Answer is B. 
Using this link https://www.hashicorp.com/products/terraform/pricing go to "Visibility and Optimization". The feature Audit logging is not available for free tier.

Saransundar · Answer

Answer D cannot be correct. From terraform document. "Terraform Cloud includes a private registry that is available to all accounts, including free organizations."

oussa_ama · Answer

D. Private module registry

Terraform Cloud's free tier includes many features, including workspaces for collaboration, remote state management for tracking changes to infrastructure over time, and audit logging for security and compliance purposes. However, the free tier does not include a private module registry, which is a feature available in the paid tiers.

The private module registry feature allows teams to publish and share their own private Terraform modules, which can be used across different workspaces in the organization. This feature is not included in the free tier and is only available in the paid tiers.

Option A, B, and C are incorrect as workspaces, remote state management, and audit logging are all included in Terraform Cloud's free tier.
