HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate (003) — Question 30

Which Terraform command checks that your configuration syntax is correct?

Answer options

• A. terraform show
• B. terraform init
• C. terraform fmt
• D. terraform validate

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as 'terraform validate' specifically checks the syntax of your configuration files. Options A, B, and C serve different purposes: 'terraform show' displays the current state, 'terraform init' initializes a working directory, and 'terraform fmt' formats configuration files but does not validate syntax.
