HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate — Question 246

Which provisioner invokes a process on the machine running Terraform?

Answer options

• A. remote-exec
• B. file
• C. local-exec
• D. null-exec

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, local-exec, because it runs commands directly on the machine running Terraform. Options A and D, remote-exec and null-exec, respectively, do not execute commands on the local machine, while B, file, is used for transferring files rather than executing commands.
