HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate — Question 153

Before you can use Terraform’s remote backend, you must first execute terraform init.

Answer options

• A. True
• B. False

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is True because executing terraform init is a necessary step to initialize the working directory containing Terraform configuration files, especially when setting up a remote backend. Without this initialization, Terraform would not be able to configure the backend settings required for remote operations.
