GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

Your platform team uses Terraform to provision multiple Google Cloud projects. You need a shared Terraform state solution that

  • keeps a full history so you can roll back to any previous version,
  • prevents two engineers from accidentally updating the same state file at the same time, and
  • relies only on Google-managed services you already use. Which approach should you recommend?

  • Migrate to Terraform Cloud and use its remote backend to obtain state versioning and locking features.

  • Configure the gcs backend to store state in a Cloud Storage bucket that has object versioning enabled; the backend uses Cloud Storage generation numbers to lock the state during Terraform operations.

  • Keep the default local backend and commit the terraform.tfstate file to Cloud Source Repositories, relying on Git history for version control.

  • Use the s3 backend pointed at an interoperability-enabled Cloud Storage bucket and add a DynamoDB table to provide state locking.
