Exam Terraform Associate topic 1 question 149 discussion

D: I think Migrate the state file Once you have authenticated to Terraform Cloud, you're ready to migrate your local state file to Terraform Cloud. To begin the migration, reinitialize. This causes Terraform to recognize your cloud block configuration. $ terraform init Initializing Terraform Cloud... Do you wish to proceed? As part of migrating to Terraform Cloud, Terraform can optionally copy your current workspace state to the configured Terraform Cloud workspace. Answer "yes" to copy the latest state snapshot to the configured Terraform Cloud workspace. Answer "no" to ignore the existing state and just activate the configured Terraform Cloud workspace with its existing state, if any. Should Terraform migrate your existing state? Enter a value: Copy During reinitialization, Terraform presents a prompt saying that it will copy the state file to your Terraform Cloud workspace. Enter yes and Terraform will migrate the state from your local machine to Terraform Cloud.

B is correct if the command is "terraform state push"

I think it's B not D because it is about MIGRATING the state file. "Usage: terraform state push [options] PATH" https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/commands/state/push "The terraform push command was an early implementation of remote Terraform runs. It allowed teams to push a configuration to a remote run environment in a discontinued version of Terraform Enterprise." https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/commands/push

Once a new Terraform backend is configured with a Terraform code block, you can use the following command to migrate the state file from the previous backend to the new one: terraform init -migrate-state

Terraform push has been retired after version 0.12.0

D. terraform init. When configuring a new Terraform backend, the state file needs to be migrated to the new backend so that it can be used to manage infrastructure state going forward. The terraform init command is used to initialize a new backend and migrate the state file to that backend.

Answer D: The terraform state push command is used to manually upload a local state file to remote state. This command also works with local state. This command should rarely be used. It is meant only as a utility in case manual intervention is necessary with the remote state.

The terraform state push command is used to manually upload a local state file to remote state. Would go with D

Terraform push is no long functional

After configuring a new Terraform backend with a Terraform code block, you will need to use the terraform init command to initialize the backend and download any necessary provider plugins. Once you have initialized the backend, you can use the terraform state command to manage the state file. If you have an existing state file that you need to migrate to the new backend, you can use the terraform state pull command to download the current state file, and then use the terraform state push command to upload it to the new backend.

The correct command to migrate the state file to a new backend is: "terraform init". The "terraform init" command will detect the new backend configuration and prompt you to copy your existing state to the new backend. B is correct

This is from chatGPT - answer : B The command used to migrate the state file to a new Terraform backend is terraform state push. This command uploads the local state file to the new backend, replacing the state that may already exist in the backend.

Answer is D coz terraform push is deprecated and does not operate in the current version of TFE.

id go with B; terraform state push

When you change a backend's configuration, you must run `terraform init` again to validate and configure the backend before you can perform any plans, applies, or state operations. Reference: https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/settings/backends/configuration#initialization

D: Command: state push The terraform state push command is used to manually upload a local state file to remote state. This command also works with local state. This command should rarely be used. It is meant only as a utility in case manual intervention is necessary with the remote stat
