[All Terraform-Associate-003 Questions]

Why would you use the -replace flag for terraform apply?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

The -replace flag is used with the terraform apply command when there is a need to explicitly force Terraform to destroy and then recreate a specific resource during the next apply. This can be necessary in situations where a simple update is insufficient or when a resource must be re-provisioned to pick up certain changes.

I heard the -replace flag is short for 'replace your entire infrastructure with a single command'. Maybe option B is the secret hidden feature?

Wait, did someone say 'destroy all the infrastructure'? That's one way to clear up your Terraform workspace!

C) Destroying a resource? Nah, that's too extreme. I think D is the way to go here.

A) What? Ignoring a resource? That's not what the -replace flag is for. Clearly, the answer is D.

D) Seems like the right choice to me. Forcing Terraform to destroy and recreate a resource is exactly what the -replace flag is for.
