When using a remote backend or terraform Cloud integration, where does Terraform save resource sate?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

This is where Terraform saves resource state when using a remote backend or Terraform Cloud integration, as it allows you to store and manage your state file in a remote location, such as a cloud storage service or Terraform Cloud's servers. This enables collaboration, security, and scalability for your Terraform infrastructure.

C is the correct answer. I can't believe anyone would think Terraform stores state on the disk or in memory.

C is the only logical choice here. Storing state in memory or an environment variable doesn't make any sense.

Definitely C. Terraform wouldn't save state locally, that would defeat the purpose of a remote backend.

Yeah, I agree with C. The remote backend is where the state is managed, especially for team collaboration.

I’m a bit confused; I thought it could also be saved on disk, but that’s usually for local setups, right?

I'm pretty confident the answer is C. Terraform is designed to store state remotely when using a backend integration, so that's where the state would be saved, not on the local disk or in memory.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know Terraform has different ways of storing state, but I can't recall the specifics. I'll have to review my notes and try to reason through the options.

Okay, I've got this. When using a remote backend, Terraform saves the resource state in the remote backend, not on the local disk. So the answer has to be C.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know Terraform stores state somewhere, but I can't remember if it's on the disk or in a remote backend. I'll have to think this through carefully.
