Exam Terraform Associate topic 1 question 106 discussion

Validate only checks the syntax http://man.hubwiz.com/docset/Terraform.docset/Contents/Resources/Documents/docs/commands/validate.html

False B Validate runs checks that verify whether a configuration is syntactically valid and internally consistent, regardless of any provided variables or existing state. It is thus primarily useful for general verification of reusable modules, including correctness of attribute names and value types. It is safe to run this command automatically, for example as a post-save check in a text editor or as a test step for a re-usable module in a CI system https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/v1.1.x/commands/validate

false B Validate only checks the syntax

False B

B is the correct answer. Terraform plan validates desired state with current state configuration.

False , B is correct

B is correct

B because Terraform validate only checks for syntax error or so

It's more of a syntax thing.

False, terraform validate has nothing to do with the state file.

The terraform validate command validates the configuration files in a directory, referring only to the configuration and not accessing any remote services such as remote state, provider APIs, etc. Validate runs checks that verify whether a configuration is syntactically valid and internally consistent, regardless of any provided variables or existing state. It is thus primarily useful for general verification of reusable modules, including correctness of attribute names and value types. Source: https://www.terraform.io/cli/commands/validate
