[Understand Terraform Basics and CLI] Which of the following commands would you use to access all of the attributes and details of a resource managed…

The terraform state show command is used to inspect a specific resource within the Terraform state file. When provided with the resource's address (in the format resourcetype.resourcename), it outputs all the stored attributes and their values for that particular resource. This allows for a detailed view of a single managed resource, which directly addresses the user's need to access all its attributes and details.

A. terraform state list ‘providertype.name’

This command lists resource instances. Providing an address filters the list to that specific resource, but it only outputs the address itself, not its detailed attributes.

C. terraform get ‘providertype.name’

The terraform get command is used to download and update modules for the configuration. It does not interact with the state file to show resource attributes.

D. terraform state list

This command lists the addresses of all resources managed in the current state file. It does not display the detailed attributes of any individual resource.
