Explanation

terraform init is the command responsible for downloading and installing providers specified in your configuration. The -upgrade flag tells Terraform to upgrade providers (and modules) to the newest allowed version based on your version constraints, even if a cached version already exists in the .terraform directory. Without -upgrade, terraform init may reuse the already-downloaded version. Running terraform apply -upgrade is not a valid flag combination, terraform refresh only reconciles state, and upgrading Terraform itself is separate from upgrading providers.
