HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate — Question 152

Which two steps are required to provision new infrastructure in the Terraform workflow? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Plan
• B. Apply
• C. Import
• D. Init
• E. Validate

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct steps to provision new infrastructure in Terraform are 'Apply' and 'Init'. 'Init' initializes the working directory containing Terraform configuration files, while 'Apply' executes the planned changes to create the infrastructure. The other options, such as 'Plan', are part of the workflow but do not directly provision the infrastructure.
