Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The module source path that does not specify a remote module issource = 'module/consul'. This specifies a local module, which is a module that is stored in a subdirectory of the current working directory. The other options are all examples of remote modules, which are modules that are stored outside of the current working directory and can be accessed by various protocols, such as Git, HTTP, or the Terraform Registry. Remote modules are useful for sharing and reusing code across different configurations and environments.Reference= [Module Sources], [Local Paths], [Terraform Registry], [Generic Git Repository], [GitHub]

E is definitely true. Terraform apply only operates on the infrastructure defined in the current working directory or workspace. Gotta keep that in mind!

Ha! I remember the days when I thought Terraform was all about 'terraform apply' and didn't know about the power of 'terraform plan'. Glad I learned that one the hard way.

Yeah, 'terraform apply' can be risky without 'terraform plan' first.

I'm not sure, but I think A and C make sense because terraform apply can destroy and recreate resources.

Hmm, I think D is also correct. Terraform apply doesn't allow you to target specific resources, you have to apply the entire configuration.

B and C seem to be the correct options. Terraform apply is all about applying the changes from the plan, which may involve destroying and recreating resources.
