BC for sure

You should create the equivalent configuration first, and then run import to load it on the state file.

To manage the VMs that were provisioned using the gcloud command line tool using Terraform, you must first use the "terraform import" command to import the existing VMs into Terraform's state file. This allows Terraform to recognize the VMs and manage them as part of your infrastructure. After importing the VMs, you must then write Terraform configuration for the existing VMs. This includes defining the resources for the VMs and specifying the necessary configuration options, such as the instance type and image, as well as any other desired settings. By doing this, you can manage the VMs using Terraform, which provides a single, unified tool for provisioning, configuring, and managing your infrastructure.

There are two ways to manage existing resource using Terraform You can use 'terraform import' or you can use the import block So answers are: B. Use the terraform import command for the existing VMs Most Voted C. Write Terraform configuration for the existing VMs https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/import/usage https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/import

B. Use the terraform import command for the existing VMs C. Write Terraform configuration for the existing VMs

BC are the correct answers here

Write configuration and import.

B&C are correct

B.True C. True

BC are the correct options: B. Use the terraform import command for the existing VMs. This command allows you to import existing infrastructure into your Terraform state file so that Terraform can manage it. You will need to provide the resource type and name, along with any required attributes, for each VM you want to import. C. Write Terraform configuration for the existing VMs. Once the VMs have been imported into the Terraform state file, you will need to write configuration code that describes the desired state of the VMs. This will typically involve creating a new Terraform module or modifying an existing one to include the imported resources. Option A is incorrect because provisioning new VMs with the same names would create duplicate resources and could cause conflicts with the existing VMs. Option D is also incorrect because there is no terraform import-gcp command in Terraform. The correct command for importing GCP resources is simply terraform import.

B,C - first write the configuration and then import
