GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

You manage Google Cloud infrastructure with Terraform, storing the state file in a Cloud Storage bucket configured as the backend. A teammate accidentally deleted a Cloud Storage bucket that is still declared in your Terraform configuration. You must restore the bucket and keep the state file accurate while minimizing manual work. What should you do next?

  • Use gsutil to recreate the bucket manually, then run "terraform refresh" to sync the state file.

  • Delete the remote state file in Cloud Storage and run "terraform init" so Terraform can re-import existing resources.

  • Run "terraform apply" in the working directory, review the plan, and confirm the action so Terraform recreates the missing bucket and updates state.

  • Delete the bucket resource block from the configuration, run "terraform apply" to remove it from state, then add the block back and apply again.
