Terraform Cloud provides features like remote state storage and a web-based user interface for managing your Terraform runs. While it offers robust infrastructure as code capabilities, automatic backups of configuration and state are not directly provided by Terraform Cloud; instead, the state is stored remotely and secured.

Terraform configuration can import modules from various sources, not only from the public registry. Modules can be sourced from local file paths, Git repositories, HTTP URLs, Mercurial repositories, S3 buckets, and GCS buckets. Terraform supports a number of common conventions and syntaxes for specifying module sources, as documented in the [Module Sources] page. References = [Module Sources]

Destroy Command Options: Theterraform destroycommand is the correct method to destroy resources, and it requires either manual approval or the -auto-approve flag.

Unsupported Triggering Method: The--destroy flagis not a recognized option for plan or apply commands, making B the correct answer as it isnota valid way to initiate resource destruction.

For more on destroying resources, refer to theterraform destroy command documentationin the Terraform CLI reference.

The terraform state show command allows you to access all of the attributes and details of a resource managed by Terraform. You can use the resource address (e.g. provider_type.name) as an argument to show the information about a specific resource. The terraform state list command only shows the list of resources in the state, not their attributes. The terraform get command downloads and installs modules needed for the configuration. It does not show any information about resources. References = [Command: state show] and [Command: state list]
