HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate — Question 16

Your DevOps team is currently using the local backend for your Terraform configuration. You would like to move to a remote backend to begin storing the state file in a central location.
Which of the following backends would not work?

Answer options

• A. Amazon S3
• B. Artifactory
• C. Git
• D. Terraform Cloud

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Git, because it is a version control system and not designed for managing Terraform state files. The other options, such as Amazon S3, Artifactory, and Terraform Cloud, are specifically designed to handle remote state storage for Terraform configurations.
