What would be the impact of confirming to delete all the resources in Terraform?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Confirming to delete all the resources in Terraform will have the following impact:

D) It destroys all the resources in the state file.

Terraform State File Role: The terraform.tfstate file contains a real-time mapping of the resources that Terraform manages, including their current configuration and relationships. This file tracks the actual state of resources provisioned by Terraform.

Impact of Destruction: When Terraform prompts for confirmation to destroy resources, and 'yes' is entered, Terraform reads the state file and systematically removes all the resources that are managed as part of that state. This is not limited to a specific .tfvars file, IAM user, or resource group---it is a global action that affects all resources tracked by the state file associated with the current Terraform workspace and configuration.

Deleting all the resources in Terraform? That's like playing a game of Jenga, but with your entire cloud infrastructure. Option D is the right move, but I'd recommend having a backup plan ready, just in case the whole thing comes crashing down.

Terraform, the tool that can make or break your infrastructure with a single command. Option D is the answer, but I'd suggest putting on your protective gear before even thinking about pushing that delete button.

Ah, the age-old Terraform dilemma: to destroy or not to destroy? That is the question. Option D is the way to go, but I'd recommend keeping a backup of that state file handy, just in case.

Option D is the correct answer, of course. Terraform's state file is the key to keeping track of your resources, so nuking it would be a disaster. Better double-check that state file before hitting that delete button, my friend.

I don't think so, because the question specifically mentions confirming to delete all resources in Terraform, not just the .tfvars file.

But what about option A, it mentions destroying all the resources in the .tfvars file. Could that be a possible impact as well?

I agree with Apolonia, selecting to delete all resources in Terraform would indeed destroy all the resources in the state file.

Deleting all the resources in Terraform? That's like setting off a nuclear bomb in your infrastructure! You better be sure you know what you're doing, or you'll be picking up the pieces for months.
