Exam Terraform-Associate-004 Topic 5 Question 20 Discussion

Rationale for Correct Answers:
B). View the execution plan: Correct - terraform plan shows what Terraform intends to do (create, update, or destroy).
C). Save a generated execution plan: Correct - using terraform plan -out=planfile lets you save the plan to apply later with terraform apply planfile.
Analysis of Incorrect Options:
A). Schedule runs in the future: Incorrect, Terraform does not provide scheduling; external tools (like cron, CI
/CD) are required.
D). Execute a plan in a different workspace: Incorrect, execution happens in the current workspace; switching workspaces must be done before running the plan.
Key Concept:
terraform plan is used for previewing and optionally saving an execution plan for controlled and predictable infrastructure changes.
