A company is considering integrating HCP Terraform with their existing CI/CD pipeline. They have a mix of infrastructure that is managed by Terraform and some that is managed by other tools. They want to ensure that only Terraform-managed resources are affected by the integration. What is the best way to achieve this?

Use the CLI to run `terraform apply` only on directories that contain Terraform configurations.

Use the same workspace for all infrastructure and rely on Terraform's state to track managed resources.

Use separate workspaces for Terraform-managed resources and configure the CI/CD pipeline to target only those workspaces.

Use a policy set to restrict the pipeline to only Terraform-managed resources.

A company has a compliance requirement that all infrastructure changes must be approved by a security team before applying. They use HCP Terraform with API-driven workflows. They want to integrate this approval step into their pipeline. What is the best approach?

Create a run, wait for the plan to complete, then have the pipeline pause for manual approval before calling the apply endpoint.

Use auto-apply on the workspace to skip the approval step.

Use the CLI to run `terraform apply` in the pipeline without using the API.

Use a run trigger to automatically apply after the plan completes.

A user reports that a VCS-triggered run in HCP Terraform is not starting after a pull request is merged. What is a common cause of this issue?

The state file is locked by another run.

The cloud provider credentials are invalid.

The Terraform configuration contains syntax errors.

The workspace is not connected to the correct repository or branch.

An API call to trigger a run returns a 401 Unauthorized error. What is the most likely cause?

The API token is invalid or expired.

The Terraform configuration has syntax errors.

The run is already in progress.
