What does terraform import allow you to do?

Answer options

• A. Import a new Terraform module
• B. Use a state file to import infrastructure to the cloud
• C. Import provisioned infrastructure to your state file
• D. Import an existing state file to a new Terraform workspace

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because terraform import is specifically designed to bring existing infrastructure into Terraform's state management. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the function of terraform import, while option D is also incorrect as it refers to importing a state file rather than infrastructure.
