CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) — Question 218

A systems administrator is adding a Linux-based server and removing a Windows-based server from a cloud-based environment. The changes need to be validated before they are applied to the cloud-based environment. Which of the following tools should be used to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Ansible
• B. git clone
• C. git pull
• D. terraform plan

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, terraform plan, as it allows users to preview changes before applying them in a cloud environment. Ansible is primarily for configuration management, while git clone and git pull are used for version control and are not suited for validating infrastructure changes.
