BIt destroys all the resources tied to the AWS Identity and Access Management (1AM) user.

Show Suggested 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.

I don't think so, the options don't mention anything about IAM user resources being affected.

Deleting all the resources in the state file? That's like trying to erase your entire browser history. Good luck explaining that one to your boss.

But what about the resources tied to the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user? Could that be impacted as well?

Option B is the way to go, but I'm more worried about the IAM user's feelings. What if they wanted to keep their resources? Terraform should come with a 'Are you sure?' pop-up, just to be safe.

It's always better to double-check before deleting important resources.

I think a confirmation pop-up would be a good idea to prevent accidental deletion.

I agree with Dannie, confirming to delete all resources in Terraform would destroy everything in the state file.

Option D sounds like the right choice, but I'm still trying to figure out how to spell 'Terraform' without autocorrect. Maybe I should just stick to clicking buttons and hope for the best.

Deleting all resources in Terraform? That's like playing 'Tetris' with a sledgehammer. I bet half the class will be clicking 'Delete' before they even know what they're doing.
