HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate — Question 182

Which of the following commands would you use to access all of the attributes and details of a resource managed by Terraform?

Answer options

• A. terraform state list ‘provider_type.name’
• B. terraform state show ‘provider_type.name’
• C. terraform get ‘provider_type.name’
• D. terraform state list

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as 'terraform state show' provides comprehensive details and attributes of the specified resource. Option A simply lists the resources rather than showing their details, option C is incorrect because 'terraform get' is not used for this purpose, and option D also only lists resources without showing their attributes.
