Sample HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate exam question
Answer this question the same way you would on exam day. No sign-up needed — one random question, three tries to swap it out.
During an internal security review, an engineer must classify Terraform commands by their side effects. The resulting runbook will grant different permissions to operators, so the classification must be precise. The engineer needs to separate read-only analysis commands from mutating commands that change state files and cloud resources. Which statements accurately describe how `plan`, `apply`, `validate`, and `destroy` affect state and real infrastructure? Select all that apply.
