What is not processed when running a terraform refresh?
When running a terraform refresh, the configuration file is not processed because its purpose is only for planning and applying changes, not updating the state with real-world data. Credentials are also not processed in the sense that they are not directly manipulated or updated during the refresh; they are required for authentication, but the refresh operation itself does not deal with modifying credentials.
A. State file - its updated during the refresh B. Configuration file - C. Credentials - required to get onto the cloud D. Cloud provider - required to carry out the refresh of whats in the cloud vs whats in state.
the answer has to be B, as per docs, it's checking remote objects and update the state file, it needs to process the creds to connect, the cloud provider to check objects and the state to update. "The terraform refresh command reads the current settings from all managed remote objects and updates the Terraform state to match."
he configuration file is not processed during terraform refresh. The configuration file is only used during the terraform apply or terraform plan commands to determine the desired state of the infrastructure. terraform refresh does not make any changes to the infrastructure, it only updates the state file to reflect the current state of the resources in the cloud provider.
The answer is C. Credentials. When you run terraform refresh, Terraform will read the state file and the configuration file, but it will not read the credentials. This is because the credentials are used to connect to the cloud provider, and Terraform does not need to connect to the cloud provider to refresh the state file.
Refresh is about ensuring the state file reflects real world objects: it's not bringing the state file in line with your configuration, it's bringing it into line with the real thing
Running refresh does not modify infrastructure, but does modify the state file. If the state has drifted from the last time Terraform ran, refresh allows that drift to be detected. By default, a backup of your state file is written to terraform. tfstate.
answer should be B...
Configuration file is not processed.
There is no change/impact on the configuration file during the refresh, therefore the answer is B. Configuration file.
Agree with B. Only confiugration file not processed for provisioning infra. Provider & credential need login to infra & state file will overwrite new config current infra
B. Configuration file
When running terraform refresh, Terraform updates the state file by querying the cloud provider using the appropriate credentials to check the actual state of the infrastructure. However, the configuration file (the .tf files) is not processed during a refresh. Terraform is only concerned with updating the state to match the real-world infrastructure, not applying changes from the configuration.

B is correct
State file and if credentials stored in the state file gets updated. I chose B and D
there is should be two answers, then B and another one?
The terraform refresh command does not create new resources or modify existing resources. It only updates the state to reflect the current configuration. If you want to create new resources or modify existing resources, you need to use the terraform apply command.
The answer is B.
Of course it is B. Credentials are used during refresh.
I choose B
i choose B
The question is outdated as this command is deprecated by Terraform, and they also recommend against using it because it provides no opportunity to review the effects of the operation before updating the state.
Refresh command will update the remote state file to match the current configuration. So configuration file won’t change anything. State file and credentials and cloud providers will associate with the refresh action
Refresh command updates the state file but not the terraform configuration file
