A team is migrating from local Terraform to HCP Terraform. They want to ensure that the state file is stored remotely and that team members can collaborate without locking issues. What is the primary benefit of using HCP Terraform's remote state?

It eliminates the need for version control for Terraform configurations.

It allows multiple team members to edit the same state file simultaneously.

It stores the state in a local file that is shared via a network drive.

It provides a centralized state that is automatically locked during runs.

Which benefit is most directly associated with using HCP Terraform's managed service model?

Automatically converting Docker images into Terraform configurations

Providing a shared, consistent environment for running Terraform operations

Guaranteeing that all cloud resources are created at the lowest possible cost

Eliminating the need to write Terraform configuration files

A team is using HCP Terraform and wants to understand how state is stored. They have multiple workspaces for different services. What is true about state management in HCP Terraform?

All workspaces share a single state file for the entire organization.

State is stored locally on the user's machine and synced to HCP Terraform.

State is stored in the VCS repository alongside the configuration.

Each workspace has its own state file, stored remotely and locked during runs.

An organization has two workspaces: 'network' and 'application'. The application workspace depends on the network workspace. They want the application workspace to automatically run a plan and apply whenever the network workspace successfully applies changes. What should they configure?

Use a webhook from the network workspace to call the application workspace's API.

Manually run the application workspace after each network apply.

Combine both configurations into a single workspace.

Set up a run trigger in the application workspace that watches the network workspace.

Which VCS event typically triggers a new run in an HCP Terraform workspace configured with VCS integration?

A push to the connected repository's default branch

A modification to the cloud provider's console

A change to the workspace's variables
