TA-002-P · Question #252

You have created a custom variable definition file my_vars.tfvars. How will you use it for provisioning infrastructure?

The correct answer is D. terraform apply -var-file="my_vars.tfvars". To set lots of variables, it is more convenient to specify their values in a variable definitions file (with a filename ending in either .tfvars or .tfvars.json) and then specify that file on the command line with -var-file: terraform apply -var-file="my_vars.tfvars"

Use the Terraform CLI (terraform plan, apply, destroy, fmt, init, validate, workspace, import, taint, providers, output)
