HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate — Question 70

What features stops multiple admins from changing the Terraform state at the same time?

Answer options

• A. Version control
• B. Backend types
• C. Provider constraints
• D. State locking

Correct answer: D

Explanation

State locking is the mechanism that ensures only one user can make changes to the Terraform state file at any given time, preventing potential conflicts or corruption. The other options, while relevant to Terraform's functionality, do not specifically address the issue of concurrent state modifications.
