What is not processed when running a terraform refresh?
A. State file
B. Configuration file
C. Credentials
D. Cloud provider
Correct Answer: CD
Explanation/Reference:
What Terraform is doing here is reconciling the resources tracked by the state file with the real world. It does this by querying your infrastructure providers to find out what’s actually running and the current configuration, and updating the state file with this new information. Terraform is designed to co-exist with other tools as well as manually provisioned resources and so it only refreshes resources under its management.
The output for a refresh is minimal. Terraform lists each resource it is refreshing along with its internal ID. 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.backup in case the state file is lost or corrupted to simplify recovery.
